PECAN PIE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
We love upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and upside-down cake is no exception. Brown sugar, melted butter and pecan halves are mixed together and spread in a cake pan, which then gets topped with a sweet Bisquick™ batter, baked, and drizzled with a powdered sugar-milk glaze. The end result is a gooey pecan pie layer that sits atop a fluffy-yet dense-cake, instead of a pie crust. This dessert is a wonderful treat for fall (or all year-round for pecan pie lovers!) and tastes especially delightful when served with a side of from-scratch sweetened whipped cream. We love this cake as a sweet addition to any meal-either a post-dinner treat or even as a star of your next brunch party!

Steps:
- Butter the inside of a 5-quart round slow cooker, then line it completely with a large sheet of foil and butter the foil. Turn the cooker on low. Sprinkle the cut-up butter and the brown sugar over the foil in the cooker. Add the pears, arranging them in a circle, cut-side down.

CHOCOLATE PECAN UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
A dense chocolate cake with a nutty caramel sauce. The directions say to use a 9" springform pan with a can of dried beans in the center...I figure a bundt pan would have the same result. I have not made this yet, so times are an estimate. Although using all butter for the sauce gives great flavor, the use of some margarine helps the caramel stay softer.
