Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- One 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple including juice
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter divided into small pats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent the mixture from sticking during baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with juice, granulated sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Assemble in Pan: Pour the pineapple mixture into the greased baking pan. Distribute the small pats of butter evenly across the surface, then sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top to add flavor.
- Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Bake until the edges turn golden and the mixture is thoroughly cooked and caramelized, signaling readiness.
Notes
- Ensure the baking pan is properly greased to avoid sticking and facilitate easy serving.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor.
- Let the pineapple bake cool slightly before cutting to allow it to set better.
- This bake pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
