Upside-down apple and pumpkin pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Instead of apples, you can use pineapple (canned or fresh) or pears. The cake can be served warm, in which case add a scoop of ice cream, or after it has cooled down. Once baked, immediately invert it onto a serving plate, and then serve.
