How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by gathering everything you need because cooking should feel like a fun adventure, not a scavenger hunt! Dice your fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks (or grab canned if you’re short on time). Mix the dry ingredients for the topping in one bowl and whisk together the wet ingredients in another.

Step 2: Assemble the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, toss the pineapple chunks with sugar, cornstarch, and a splash of lime juice. The lime adds a zesty kick that balances out the sweetness perfectly. Pour this fruity goodness into your baking dish—it’ll look like a tropical treasure waiting to be baked!

Step 3: Add the Topping
Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the pineapple filling. Don’t worry about perfection here; uneven bits make it extra rustic and charming. Finish off with a generous sprinkle of shredded coconut for that island vibe. Trust me, it’s going to smell amazing as soon as it hits the oven!

Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Pop the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling starts bubbling around the edges. Keep an eye on it—you’ll know it’s done when your kitchen smells like pure happiness.

Step 5: Serve Warm and Enjoy
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For bonus points, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s the ultimate comfort dessert that’s both simple and spectacular!

Pro Tips

• Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned works great too—just drain it well to avoid soggy results.
• Toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding it to the topping for an extra layer of nutty goodness.
• Double the batch if you’re feeding a crowd—it disappears fast!
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the topping for a subtle spice note that pairs beautifully with the tropical flavors.
• Store leftovers properly (see storage tips below) to keep it tasting fresh.

Storage

• Store cooled cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm treat.
• Freeze unbaked cobbler in a freezer-safe dish for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
