Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (946 ml) chopped fresh pineapple
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tbsps (25 g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (90 g) large oats
- ½ cup (60 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp (8 g) cornstarch
- ½ cup (113 g) cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F and generously grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or individual dishes, setting the stage for a delectable tropical dessert.
- Fruit Base: Combine pineapple chunks with brown sugar and cornstarch, gently mixing until the fruit is evenly coated. Spread the glistening mixture into the prepared pan, creating a vibrant foundation.
- Crumble Creation: In a large bowl, blend cold butter cubes, brown sugar, oats, and flour using fingertips or a pastry blender. Work the ingredients until they form a rustic, crumbly topping with a cookie-like consistency.
- Baking Finale: Distribute the crumble evenly over the pineapple base, pressing gently to ensure complete coverage. Bake for 45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges that signal a perfectly caramelized tropical delight.
Notes
- Fruit Selection: Choose ripe, fresh pineapple chunks for maximum sweetness and vibrant tropical flavor.
- Cornstarch Tip: Ensure even coating by mixing cornstarch and brown sugar thoroughly before adding to pineapple to prevent clumping.
- Crumble Texture: Work butter into dry ingredients quickly using cold hands or a pastry blender to maintain a light, flaky topping.
- Baking Watch: Check dessert at 40 minutes, as oven temperatures vary; golden-brown topping indicates perfect doneness.
