Prepare the pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom, removing the skin, and slicing it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Use a small circular cutter or knife to remove the core from each slice.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on both sides of the pineapple slices.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and they are slightly caramelized. Transfer the grilled pineapple to a serving plate.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the dark rum, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and forms a syrupy consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for a minute. Squeeze the juice of one lime into the sauce, stirring to combine for a tangy finish.
Drizzle the warm rum reduction sauce generously over the grilled pineapple slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
