How to Make Lemony Glazed Pineapple Upside Down Gingerbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup margarine. Stir until margarine melts and sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  4. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Arrange pineapple slices (1 (20 ounce) can, drained) on top of the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern. Cut some slices into quarters to fill gaps.
  6. Fill the center of the pineapple slices with 1/4 cup raisins.
  7. Sprinkle remaining raisins over the pineapple.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
  9. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  10. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup molasses, and 1/2 cup milk.
  11. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  12. Gently fold in 1 medium apple, peeled and grated.
  13. Pour batter over the pineapple in the prepared dish.
  14. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  16. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Gently release any pineapple pieces that stick to the pan.
