Ingredients:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple rings in juice (reserve the liquid)
1 small jar maraschino cherries, drained
1 box yellow cake mix
Vegetable oil and eggs as directed on the cake mix box
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Create the Caramel Base: Mix brown sugar and melted butter, then spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Add Pineapple and Cherries: Arrange pineapple rings over the sugar mixture. Place a cherry in the center of each ring and in any gaps.
4. Prepare Cake Batter: Measure the reserved pineapple juice and add enough water to make 1 cup. Use this liquid in place of water when preparing the yellow cake mix as directed on the box.
5. Combine and Cook: Pour the cake batter over the arranged fruit. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove the slow cooker insert and let the cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate to reveal the caramelized pineapple and cherries.
