How To Make peaches & pears upside-down gingerbread

• Step 1
  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.
• Step 2
  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.
• 
  Step 3
  Follow the directions on the gingerbread mix to make the batter, and pour the batter over the peaches and pears.
• Step 4
  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.
• 
  Step 5
  When the knife comes out clean, remove the cake and let it cool for a few minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  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.
