1 can (16 oz.) pineapple chunks in 100% juice, drained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 16 muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine sugar free cake mix, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Whisk until blended.
Combine melted light butter with regular brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Top with 3-4 chunks of pineapple and 1/2 cherry in the middle of the pineapple chunks.
Spoon about 1 tsp of the sugar mixture into each prepared muffin cup.
Evenly fill each muffin cups with cake batter.
Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of cupcakes comes out clean.
Let them cool for 10-15 minutes before gently flipping them over onto a clean surface.
