Dutch Oven Dessert - Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 can sliced pineapple rings (should be about 10 slices), keep the juice
10 maraschino cherries

Start by preheating your Dutch oven. Use about 10 coals underneath and 16 on top.

In a bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and pineapple juice from the can of pineapple. Stir until all the lumps are gone. Now melt the butter in the Dutch oven (which should be preheated by now). Add the brown sugar and stir until it is all dissolved. Put the pineapple rings evenly in the bottom of the Dutch oven and put a cherry in the middle of each. Pour the cake batter over all the rings. Put the lid back on and bake for about 30 minutes or until the cake is done in the center (use a toothpick or thin stick to poke in middle and see if it is clean when you pull it back out. If it has batter stuck to it, it needs to cook some more). Don't be surprised if the cake shrinks a little when it is done. This will help you get it out upside down (which will be right side up!) . When done, remove the lid, and turn the Dutch oven over onto a serving dish or place.

Pineapple Upside-down cake is one of the classic, favorite easy Dutch oven desserts
