Dive into tropical bliss with this Pineapple Cobbler recipe, a delicious twist on a classic Southern favorite! Bursting with the sweet, juicy flavors of pineapple—whether fresh or canned—this dessert boasts a buttery golden crust that's both soft and slightly crisp around the edges. The easy-to-make batter comes together in minutes with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, sugar, and vanilla, while a hint of optional cinnamon offers a warm, spiced touch. As it bakes, the pineapple caramelizes, creating a bubbling, fragrant treat that's irresistible when served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or weeknight indulgence, this quick and comforting cobbler is a must-try dessert for pineapple lovers!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar (reserve 1/4 cup for later use), baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Slowly add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom of the dish.
Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir; allow the batter to naturally spread across the dish.
Spread the pineapple chunks evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of sugar on top and, if desired, the ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect finish.
