Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the coconut oil into the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the chopped pineapple, brown sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until the pineapple softens.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of chilled water to form a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the pineapple mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and remove the mixture from heat. Allow it to cool.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a circle about 0.5cm thick on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and edges. Trim any overhang.
Pour the cooled pineapple filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving.
