A delightful twist on the classic pineapple upside-down cake, transformed into easy-to-serve bars with caramelized pineapple and cherries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices, drained and juice reserved
  • Maraschino cherries, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
  3. Arrange pineapple slices over the butter mixture and place cherry halves in the center of each slice.
