This easy summer recipe is inspired by my favorite Bananas Foster dessert.

Simply brush fresh pineapple with a brown sugar mixture and caramelize in the air fryer. Serve with ice cream for a tasty tropical treat!

Start by cutting the outside rind/peel off the pineapple then slice into approx 8 slices.

Remove the center core to make rings. You can use a pineapple corer, knife, or cookie cutter. 

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

Melt 2-3 tbsp unsalted butter. You don’t need much but if you want extra to drizzle I do 3 tbsp. 

Preparing in batches, brush melted butter on 3-4 pineapple slices.

Sprinkle on brown sugar mixture. Flip over and add to the other side. 

Add the prepared pineapple to the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.  Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Repeat with remaining pineapple.

Serve warm in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Add any remaining brown sugar butter sauce “drippings” from the air fryer as a drizzle on top.

This brunch treat is a combo of two of my favorites: fluffy buttermilk pancakes and gooey pineapple upside down cake! Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes are sure to be a hit at your next brunch. No syrup needed, these cakes are delicious on their own! 

I was so excited to receive these LorAnn Bakery Emulsions to use for my BrunchWeek recipes!
 A baking emulsion is a flavor suspended in a base containing mostly water. In contrast, baking extracts are flavors suspended in a base containing mostly alcohol. LorAnn Bakery Emulsions are not compromised by the flavor of alcohol and don’t “bake-out” when exposed to heat like an extract flavor.
For this recipe I use the Butter Vanilla flavor to add another layer of richness to these tasty pancakes.
