Pine Apples

This is a great old fashioned pineapple upside down cake recipe that has probably been used for generations! This recipe is made in an old fashioned cast iron skillet. An added benefit is that cooking in cast iron skillets can actually add significant amounts of iron to your food and into your body! This was proven by researchers in and published in the July 1986 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association Journal. Acidic foods that have a higher moisture content absorb the most iron, making pineapples a great food to use. So have fun, enjoy the cake & maybe get a little healthier!!
