Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped fresh pineapple
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup milk
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. Pineapple Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and cook until the pineapple is tender and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. Making the Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in the milk to form a thick batter.
4. Assembling the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish. The topping does not need to cover all the pineapple as it will spread during baking.
5. Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serving: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
