I've made Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix and Apple Cobbler with Cake Mix but never thought about using Pineapple. This is simply one of the most delicious and easiest cobblers I've EVER made. There are 2 things that are done in this recipe that aren't in my normal cobblers with cake mix and that is the brown sugar and melted butter. I've always dotted my cake mix with butter but never poured a whole cup over it. That has now become a must do for all of my cake cobblers from now on.
Thank you!

How would it work with sprinkling the brown sugar on top of the pineapple instead of on top of the cake mix similar to a pineapple upside down cake?

Absolutely, you can do that as well. Hope you enjoy it! Sandra
