Homemade Pineapple Cobbler

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 3 (20-ounce) cans pineapple chunks (or 5-6 cups fresh pineapple chunks)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

2. Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Stir to combine.

3. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice to the pineapple mixture and mix well. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.

4. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

5. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a fork to do this.

6. Add the cold buttermilk to the mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The dough should be thick and sticky.

7. Spoon the topping over the pineapple mixture. It doesn’t need to cover the filling completely—gaps are fine.

8. Brush the topping with the melted butter and then bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

9. Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes:

• If using fresh pineapple, ensure it's well-drained to prevent excess liquid in the filling.
• The topping doesn’t need to fully cover the filling; the cobbler will still bake up beautifully.
• For a touch of extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the filling.
