With leftover crushed pineapple in the fridge begging to be used, I turned to this Pineapple Upside Down Muffins Recipe.

Top with a cherry and make them extra pretty! We didn’t wait for these to cool, but dug right in. Yum!

Measure the buttermilk into a large measuring cup, then add in the egg and the melted butter to that to minimize clean-up.
I think it would also be cute to top with a cherry.
