When a Fruit Cups Goes Bad

It goes really really bad. It started so innocently there it was A Del Monte tropical medley, luscious pineapple, Mango, and papaya sitting snuggly in their extra light juice. Originally it was bought for the benefit of my babies. And they did get the first serving but then this odd raving for cake over took me and let me tell you when a fruit cup goes bad its very very good.



Its nothing like the fruit cake grandma used to make.
This is a little two person cake and made with basics and leftover laying around the fridge. As always my measurements aren't exact and you can substitute as you wish.

In a cereal sized bowl Pour about 1 cup of Bisquick I used the fat free version. add sugar to taste and Pour and mix in enough milk to make it the consistency of thick cake batter.

Using a 1 1/2 pint Pyrex dish I spooned most of the fruit (1/4 - 1/2 cup) onto the bottom of the pan saving the juice. Next put 2 Tlbs of butter sliced thinly. Spoon a little bit of the batter over the fruit not bunches just something for the brown sugar to bubbly through.

Then sprinkle 1/4 cup or so of brown sugar smooth over the top. Pour half the juice over the brown sugar. sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Pour in half the bowl of batter.
Slice a 1/4 of an apple into tiny pieces and sprinkle over the batter and then sprinkle some raisins. Cover with more brown sugar and another sprinkle more cinnamon. Pour over rest of juice and another Tlbs of sliced butter. Pour in remaining batter.

Cook at 350 for 30-40 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Turn upside down on to a plate.
If you want frosting you can find an old can of frosting you can melt in the microwave and pour over as I did or you can melt cream cheese or even just mix milk and powdered sugar or some other frosting mix of your choice.

Drizzle over the top and eat warm

Ice cream would probably be good too.
