Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Slice it into rings or spears, about 1/2-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dark rum, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
Place the pineapple slices in a shallow dish and pour the rum mixture over them. Let the pineapple marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even coating.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
While the grill is heating, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish. Brush melted butter onto the pineapple slices for an extra caramelized effect.
Place the pineapple slices on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is lightly caramelized.
Remove the pineapple from the grill and serve warm. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with extra rum sauce.
