🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 can (about 20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Optional Add-Ons (for extra flavor):

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

🍽️ Instructions (Step-by-Step)

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (8×8 or 9×9 inch).
  2. Layer the Pineapple
    Pour the crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly into the baking dish.
  3. Add Cream Cheese
    Scatter the cubed cream cheese evenly over the pineapple layer.
  4. Prepare the Batter
    In a bowl, mix:

    • sugar
    • flour
    • melted butter
      Stir until a thick batter forms.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler
    Spoon the batter evenly over the pineapple and cream cheese. Do not mix—this layering creates the cobbler texture.
  6. Bake
    Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  7. Cool Slightly & Serve
    Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm!
