Warm Cinnamon Pineapple Bake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Pineapple Base
01 -
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
02 -
¾ cup sugar
03 -
2 eggs
04 -
2 tablespoons cornstarch
05 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
→ Topping
06 -
1½ tablespoons butter, sliced into pats
07 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon
→ Optional For Serving
08 -
Vanilla ice cream
09 -
Whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with juice, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and consistent, with no visible lumps.
04 -
Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
05 -
Place small pats of butter evenly across the top of the pineapple mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon in an even layer over everything.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is fully set. To test, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean.
07 -
Remove the pineapple bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
# Notes:
01 -
This versatile dish can be served as either a dessert or a side dish alongside ham or other savory mains.
02 -
For a tropical twist, try adding ¼ cup shredded coconut to the pineapple mixture before baking.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave.
