If you’re going to enjoy eating fresh pineapple any other way than just sliced up and unadorned, you want to make sure it’s a worthy recipe. Pineapple cooked in butter that browns while the pineapple gets sticky, then topped with a crunchy, coconutty crumble will definitely not disappoint.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: Makes about 4 servings
- ½ cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup packed coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
- Pinch salt
- 8 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 pineapple, cored and sliced into 7 (or so) ½-inch rings
- Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, for serving
Preparation
- Combine oats, shredded coconut, flour, sugar, and salt in medium bowl
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in medium cast iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in oat mixture. Cook, stirring, until toasted and crumbly, about 3 minutes. Transfer back to medium bowl and wipe out skillet.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in now empty skillet over medium heat. Add pineapple slices and cook until bottoms are browned and sticky, 3-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook until other side is caramelized, about 3 additional minutes. Be careful not to burn pineapple -- that doesn't taste awesome.
- Top with crumble and serve with ice cream.
