Impressive looking but SO easy!
Yep, this Pumpkin Pineapple Upside Down Cake looks like a show-stopping dessert but it costs only a few bucks! It will look like you spent a lot of time and energy preparing this cause it looks so pretty and everyone will oooh and aaahhh over it! No one needs to know you took a shortcut with some Martha White muffin mix. 
The combination of lightly spiced pumpkin and sweet pineapple turned out to be a surprising HIT. I almost think it is even better than the traditional pineapple upside down cake! Only 5 ingredients, y’all! 
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple slices (drain well)
1 small jar maraschino cherries
2 packets Martha White Pumpkin Spice Muffin Mix
1 1/2 cups milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425f degrees. Spray a 9-inch round baking dish with no-stick cooking spray (spray really well!)
Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar into the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer 7 pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar layer.
Place one maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple slice.
In a bowl, combine both packets of muffin mix with milk. Stir together well.
Then pour muffin batter on top of pineapple layer.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes (until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.) Allow to cool completely before inverting the pan onto a large serving plate.
Will ya look at that sweet brown sugar glaze dripping of the side? Ooooh mercy!
Enjoy!
