Pineapple Bake: A Simple and Comforting Sweet Delight

by

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or casserole dish.

Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended and smooth — this forms the creamy, custard-like base.

Step 3: Add Toppings
Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared pan. Evenly dot the top with slices of butter, then sprinkle cinnamon generously over the surface for a warm, fragrant finish.

Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. The aroma will be irresistible!

Step 5: Serve
Serve your Pineapple Bake warm for the ultimate comfort dessert, or let it cool and enjoy it chilled. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Pineapple Bake

  • Use crushed pineapple with juice, not syrup — it keeps the flavor natural and refreshing.
  • Don’t overbake — the pudding-like texture is part of its charm.
  • Add a crumble topping (brown sugar, oats, and butter) for a cobbler-style twist.
  • Try sprinkling toasted coconut or chopped pecans on top for extra texture.
