Directions:
-Move an oven rack into the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-Spray 24 muffin cups with cooking spray.
-Line a work surface with waxed paper.
-Spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter into the bottom of each sprayed muffin cup.
-Spoon 1 tablespoon brown sugar in each muffin cup.
-Press a maraschino cherry into the center of the brown sugar in each muffin cup.
-Spoon a heaping tablespoon of crushed pineapple over the cherry and compact it with the back of a spoon into an even layer.
-Mix pineapple cake mix, eggs, pineapple juice, and vegetable oil in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Turn mixer speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes.
-Pour pineapple cake batter into the muffin cups, filling them to the top; do not overfill.
-Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
-Allow cupcakes to cool at least 5 minutes before inverting muffin cups onto the waxed paper to release. Serve with pineapple and cherry sides up. Sprinkle cupcakes lightly with confectioners’ sugar.
