September 5, 2018 by Evelyn Leave a Comment

Our Pineapple cupcakes are really mini pineapple upside down cakes.  These Mini Upside Down Pineapple Cupcakes can easily be made by using a jumbo muffin tin.

My mother always made pineapple upside down cake in a cast-iron skillet.  She made it from scratch when we were younger but after we were grown and left home, she would make her pineapple upside down cakes from a cake mix.  I know it was easier for her but it just wasn’t the same.   I understand we cook differently when it’s only the two of us.

But I went differently as all daughters seem to do.  I decided to make mini pineapple upside down cakes in a muffin tin.  This way we can have just a few of these pineapple cupcakes and share the others with neighbors if we so choose.
