Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Filling
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For dusting
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bars.
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut cold, cubed butter into the mixture until it becomes crumbly. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust base.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until it is lightly golden. Remove and allow it to cool slightly before adding the filling.
- Prepare Pineapple Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing well. Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple to complete the filling.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the pineapple filling evenly over the slightly cooled crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the filling is firm.
- Cool and Dust: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, generously dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- For extra tropical flavor, add 1/2 cup shredded coconut to the pineapple filling.
- Garnish the bars with pineapple slices or toasted coconut for a decorative touch.
- Store bars refrigerated for up to 5 days; allow them to come to room temperature before serving for best texture and flavor.
