If you adore pineapple, this warm, golden treat will quickly become your favorite. Sweet and tangy with a hint of cinnamon, it’s a comforting bake that tastes like tropical sunshine—simple to whip up, and even harder to stop eating.
🛒 What You’ll Need
Ingredient Quantity
Crushed pineapple (with juice) 20 oz can
Granulated sugar ¾ cup
Large eggs 2
Cornstarch 2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract 2 teaspoons
Butter (cut into pieces) 1½ tablespoons
Ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
👨🍳 How to Make It
1. Get Ready to Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, stir together the crushed pineapple (including the juice), sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
3. Build the Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Dot the top with small pats of butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
4. Bake Until Perfect
Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown.
5. Serve It Up
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes to enjoy warm, or refrigerate until chilled for a cool, creamy dessert. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
🌺 Fun Variations
Tropical twist: Add ½ teaspoon of coconut extract with the vanilla for a richer island flavor.
Toppings: Scatter maraschino cherries or a handful of toasted coconut on top before baking.
Boozy bonus: Drizzle with a splash of pineapple rum just before serving for an adult-friendly dessert
