Spring is in the air! I can't wait for it to be warm enough to go out and cook on the grill and to use my dutch oven. I want to make some baked stuffed apples,and a pineapple upside-down cake(recipe follows). The pineapple upsidedown cake is so moist that you think that it was made in your own oven.
Easy Pineapple Upside-down Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple slices
Juice from pineapple slices plus enough water to make 1-1/4 cups
8 maraschino cherries
1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
In a 12 inch dutch oven, melt butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place slices over brown sugar. There should be room for 7-8 slices. Place a cherry in the center of each slice. In a medium bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and reserved juice and water. Stir for 2 minutes. Spoon over pineapple slices. Place over 6 coals with 18 on lid. Cook at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. When done, place serving plate inverted over camp oven and carefully flip the camp oven. Remove oven and replace any pineapple that may have stuck. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
