Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or casserole dish.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended and smooth — this forms the creamy, custard-like base.
Step 3: Add Toppings
Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared pan. Evenly dot the top with slices of butter, then sprinkle cinnamon generously over the surface for a warm, fragrant finish.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 5: Serve
Serve your Pineapple Bake warm for the ultimate comfort dessert, or let it cool and enjoy it chilled. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
