1 20-oz can crushed pineapple, do not drain
1 Tbsp Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head seasoning
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 20-oz can pineapple slices, drained

Preheat oven or outdoor cooker to 350°F
Mix package of dry cake mix, crushed pineapple with the juices from the can and Pineapple Head seasoning, stir until you see the mixture turn airy and fluffy.
Melt butter in a pan, or in 9 x 13 pan in the oven.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices over brown sugar, and place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired.
Pour batter over pineapple and cherries. Bake 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
