PEACHES & PEARS UPSIDE-DOWN GINGERBREAD image

This is my own version of another recipe I recently posted. I had a box of gingerbread mix in the pantry and I also had one can of peaches and one can of pears. So I whipped this up and it is awesome, even if it is cheating a little bit!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box(es) gingerbread mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 can(s) (15 oz.) peach halves in syrup
1 can(s) (15 oz.) pear slices
3/4 stick(s) butter
2 cup(s) brown sugar
- whipped cream or topping

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into a 9" square baking pan. Pour brown sugar over the melted butter to absorb the butter and pat it down into an even layer.
  • Drain the peaches and pears and lay the peach halves cut side up on top of the brown sugar. Arrange the pear slices in between peach halves.
  • Follow the directions on the gingerbread mix to make the batter, and pour the batter over the peaches and pears.
  • Follow the directions on the box for oven temperature and length of time to bake. Check for doneness by sticking a knife halfway into the center. If it comes back with batter on it, return the cake to the oven for another 5 or 10 minutes and then test it again.
  • When the knife comes out clean, remove the cake and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • To serve, cut a square out of the pan, and spoon the juices from the bottom of the pan over the cake. Top with whipped cream. Best served hot from the oven.
