Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams canned pineapple chunks (drained)
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional, like pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In the greased baking dish, spread the drained pineapple chunks evenly and sprinkle the granulated sugar and vanilla extract over them. Toss lightly to coat the pineapple.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts if using.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture resembling coarse sand.
Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the pineapple layer, making sure all the fruit is covered.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve the Pineapple Crunch warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
