Easy Pineapple Bake — Sweet, Simple, and So Comforting 🍍

ByEadmin

If you love those simple, comforting desserts that remind you of home and family gatherings, this Old-Fashioned Pineapple Bake is sure to become a favorite. It’s warm, creamy, and sweet — a little bit like a pineapple cobbler, but with the soft, custardy texture of a pudding. Every bite brings that cozy, nostalgic flavor that only old-style baking can deliver.

 

What makes this dessert so special is its simplicity. With just a few basic ingredients — crushed pineapple, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon — you can whip up a dish that feels like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen. It’s the kind of dessert that fills the house with a sweet tropical aroma while it bakes, and tastes even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1½ tablespoons butter, cut into small pats

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Base.
In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with juice, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla. Stir everything together until well blended and smooth — the mixture will be glossy and full of sweet pineapple aroma.

Step 3: Add the Toppings.
Pour the pineapple mixture into your prepared baking dish. Dot the top with small pieces of butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon for a little warmth and color.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection.
Place it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set like a soft custard.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your Pineapple Bake warm — straight from the oven is best! It pairs beautifully with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce if you want to make it extra special.

This recipe is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy Sunday dinners when you want something simple but heartwarming. And the best part? You probably already have everything you need sitting right in your pantry.

A true comfort dessert that’s easy, sweet, and impossible not to love. 💛
