## How to Make Sweet Potato Pineapple Upside Down Donut Rings
### 1. Prepare the Pineapple Topping
In a skillet, melt butter and sprinkle brown sugar over it. Add pineapple rings and cook until caramelized and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
### 2. Make the Donut Batter
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, mashed sweet potato, and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
### 3. Assemble Donut Rings
Lightly grease a donut pan. Place a caramelized pineapple ring in each donut mold. Spoon the sweet potato batter over each ring, filling about two-thirds full.
### 4. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
### 5. Cool and Invert
Allow donuts to cool for a few minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate to reveal the beautiful pineapple topping.
