Pineapple Bake is a delicious and simple dessert that combines the sweetness of pineapple with a crumbly, buttery topping. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer crumbs
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (8×8 inch or similar size) with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the Pineapple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple with the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Stir well until the sugar and flour are evenly distributed among the pineapple.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the pineapple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix together the melted butter and crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer crumbs until well combined and crumbly.
Add the Topping: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pineapple mixture is bubbly.
Serve: Remove the Pineapple Bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Pineapple Bake!
