Ideal for potlucks, bake sales, or a quick dessert when you need something sweet but simple. They bake quickly, making them a last-minute favorite that always impresses guests with their homemade charm.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease 12 muffin cups with shortening or line them with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, crack the egg and beat slightly with a fork or whisk.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and milk to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups of the cake mix to the wet ingredients, beating gently until just blended and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each prepared muffin cup about half full with the batter.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the remaining cake mix, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the crumb topping.
  7. Place a small amount of drained pineapple tidbits in the center of each muffin cup batter.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the pineapple and batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
