Ingredients
Scale
Pineapple Mixture
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple (including juice)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter (divided into small pats)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent the pineapple mixture from sticking during baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, granulated sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Assemble in Pan: Pour the pineapple mixture into the greased baking pan. Distribute the small pats of butter evenly over the surface of the mixture. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The bake is done when the edges begin to turn golden and the mixture is set and caramelized on top.
Notes
- Make sure to include the pineapple juice for a moist and flavorful bake.
- Use fresh pats of butter to create a rich, caramelized top layer.
- Check the bake towards the end of cooking to prevent over-browning.
- Let the bake cool slightly before serving to allow it to set fully.
