PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN COOKIES RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together dry ingredients ( flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt). Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, blend together (with hand or stand mixer) butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Add the well drained crushed pineapple and mix well. Remember to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, ensuring even mixing. With mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until all the flour has been incorporated. Scoop dough out onto parchment lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread slightly). Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Ice cookies once they are completely cool. Icing: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of butter. Once the stick of butter has melted stir in the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Bring mixture to boil and then reduce heat to medium low and continue to boil for 2 minutes. Once the two minutes are up, stir in the cream and return to boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and let cool. Once the mixture is at least lukewarm, transfer it to a mixing bowl and with beaters on low, slowly add the confectioners sugar and beat to desired consistency. You may want to add extra cream/milk to icing to make it thinner - I did. Tip: I made my icing the night before and stuck it in the fridge, the next morning it was rock hard! I stuck it in the microwave for one minute to loosen it up, stuck it back in the mixing bowl and slowly added more cream (little by little) until I reached the desired consistency. The thinner the icing the easier it is to ice the cookies. The icing will thicken/harden the longer it sits, so ice the cookies as soon as the icing is ready to go

Brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough. Cut the rectangle into 5 strips 12 x 2 inches each. Stack the strips on top of one another, and cut the stack into 2 inch squares. Place the squares, layered side down, into the muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• For the topping: Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pie plate with butter. Sprinkle the butter with the brown sugar. Use clean hands to cover the base and sides of the pie plate with the butter sugar mixture. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on the base of the pie plate. Cut the remaining 3 rings in half and place them in the openings on the sides of the pie plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and in the empty spaces between the pineapple rings. Place the pie plate in the fridge while you make the batter.
• For the cake: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
• Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding another. When the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla and orange zest and mix until combined.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the mixer, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the chilled pie plate. Place the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake until the juices are bubbling and the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and carefully flip the cake over, inverting it onto the plate. Cool the cake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
