Air Fryer Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix 2 tablespoons butter and brown sugar together in a 9-inch round cake pan until blended; spread mixture to evenly cover bottom of pan. Top with pineapple slices; place 1 cherry in the center of each slice.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons white sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small bowl; mix well. Press over pineapple slices.
• Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup white sugar in a bowl until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time; mix on low speed after each addition until blended. Pour into cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is almost set, 55 minutes to 1 hour.
• Run a knife around the inside edge of pan to loosen cake. Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate; remove pan. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish without handles with nonstick cooking spray.
• Slice the pineapple into four 1/4-inch-thick rings and cut the remaining pineapple into small dice. Measure out 1/2 cup diced pineapple and set aside, reserving the rest for another use. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and arrange the pineapple slices in a square in the dish. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
• Combine the oats, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs in a separate bowl. Pour over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped pineapple. Spoon the oatmeal mixture over the pineapple rings, spreading to cover. Cook in a 6-quart air fryer at 325 degrees F until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Let cool in the baking dish for 5 minutes, then gently loosen the sides with a butter knife and flip the baked oatmeal out onto a cutting board, to reveal the pineapple slices. Let cool for 10 additional minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round, 1 1/2-inch tall cake pans.
• Combine brown sugar and butter for topping in a saucepan over medium heat; stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is bubbly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour mixture into one of the prepared cake pans. Arrange pineapple rings in a single layer on top.
• Whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt for cake in a large mixing bowl. Beat sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream in two additions each, beating well after each addition.
• Pour 1/2 of the cake batter over the caramel and pineapple topping. Pour remaining cake batter into the second cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit in the pans for 5 minutes. Turn the cake without the topping layer onto a serving platter. Turn the cake with the topping layer on top of that. Serve warm.
