This Pear Upside Down Cake Recipe features a caramelized pear and brown sugar topping over a sweet, tender spiced cake. Enjoy with some whipped cream or ice cream for an easy fall dessert.
2. Slice the pears in half lengthwise and cut off the end. Use a small spoon or a measuring spoon to scoop out the seeds and then pull back the stem to remove. Slice the pears to an 1/8″ thickness. Set aside.
3. Add the butter for the topping to the skillet over medium heat to melt. Give it a gentle swirl or use a spatula to help coat the sides of the pan fully with the melted butter.
4. Add the brown sugar and mix to combine the melted butter and sugar so that it forms and even base over the entire bottom of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat.
