praline-pineapple upside down ring
This recipe is a new version of my mom's tried-and-true pineapple upside down cake, but I use crescent rolls instead. This was originally what I had on hand, and now it's become a family favorite. Layers of dough, praline, pineapple, all topped with a cherry!

Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees; spray a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan or 10-inch tube pan generously with cooking spray.
