Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks and brown sugar. Toss gently to ensure the pineapple is evenly coated.
- Transfer the pineapple mixture to a greased 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish, covering as much of the pineapple as possible.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pineapple is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the topping for added texture.
- Pair this cobbler with whipped cream, yogurt, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
- If using canned pineapple, ensure to drain well to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler.
