15-Minute Mini Pineapple Upside­ Down Cakes

Recipe yields 6 cakes.

Ingredients:

  • 7 ounce tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 15 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 TBS orange juice or lemon juice

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1⁄4 cup of the brown sugar (set remaining sugar aside), and orange juice; set aside.

Step 2: Using a regular sized muffin tin, sprayed with nonstick spray, place 1 TBS of the juice/sugar mixture into the bottom. Next, place 2 TBS chopped pineapple chunks into the mixture. Top with dough for one buttermilk biscuit, pressing down a bit. Sprinkle a bit of remaining brown sugar on top. Repeat steps for all spaces.

Step 3: Place into oven and bake for 12-­14 minutes or until tops are slightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Invert the muffin tin onto a plate, and arrange cakes to serve. Enjoy!
