Personal Notes:
We had this for Christmas in 2001. It is very good and tastes like pineapple upside down cake. To make it extra special sprinkle toasted coconut over topped French toast. To toast coconut, bake uncovered in an ungreased shallow pan in 350 oven for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
