Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (946 ml) chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 cup (90 g) large oats
- ½ cup (60 g) whole wheat flour
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
Baking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) cornstarch
- ½ cup (113 g) cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F, creating the perfect warm environment for your dessert. Lovingly coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with a light layer of grease, or opt for charming individual baking dishes to add a personal touch.
- Gently tumble the pineapple chunks into a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle brown sugar and cornstarch over the fruit, carefully folding until each piece glistens with a delicate, sweet coating. Transfer the glistening mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it into an even, inviting layer.
- In a spacious bowl, gather the cold butter cubes, brown sugar, hearty oats, and flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, lovingly work the ingredients together. Massage and blend until the mixture transforms into a crumbly, cohesive topping that resembles rustic cookie dough.
- Artfully scatter the prepared crumble across the pineapple base, gently pressing to create a complete, textured coverage. Slide the baking dish into the warm oven, allowing the dessert to bake for approximately 45 minutes. Watch for the topping to turn a golden, appetizing brown and the edges to bubble with sweet, fruity promise.
Notes
- Preheat oven to 350°F for perfect golden-brown caramelization and even baking of the tropical dessert.
- Use a 9×13 inch glass baking dish to ensure proper heat distribution and easy serving.
- Fresh pineapple chunks work best, but canned pineapple can be a convenient alternative if drained thoroughly.
- Create a crispy crumble topping by mixing cold butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse, sandy texture.
- Allow the dessert to cool for 15-20 minutes after baking to let flavors meld and topping set completely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, best enjoyed within 24 hours for maximum crunch.
