Article: Ad Hoc Pineapple Upside-down Cake

I have childhood memories of Pineapple upside down cakes. They were always made with tinned pineapple with Marciano cherries in the center of the rings.  Pineapple upside down cake has always been a kitch favourite of mine.  For the uninitiated, Pineapple upside down cake is like an American version of the French classic Apple Tatre Tatin.  Typically it's made in a cast iron skillet started on the stovetop and finished in the over.  In the Ad Hoc version he does all the magic in the over with the help of a silicone baking pan.
