Pineapple Upside Down...Cupcakes?

Yummo! Happy Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day. No joke. Check the specials calendar near you.

I made these on Sunday in fear I would not have time to make today but these were so good. Here is the recipe for your pleasure:

1 box Yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 c oil
1 1/4 c water
1 20oz can crushed pineapple
1 stick butter
1/2 c brown sugar
cherries (optional-I did not have any on hand)

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil and water together. Set aside. Melt butter in microwave or on stove top, mix together with brown sugar. Spray/grease two 12 count muffic pans. Add 1/2 teaspoon of butter, brown sugar mixture to each muffin section. Add one cherry to each section (if using). Spoon 1 teaspoon crushed pineapple into each section. Evenly add cake batter to each section.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Make sure to let these guys sit and completely cool before removing or they will break apart.
Enjoy!
