- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups cold unsalted butter cubed
Filling
- 1 cup crushed pineapple well-drained
- 2 large eggs

- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup sugar and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make the pineapple filling: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in ¼ cup flour, baking powder and vanilla. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Pour the pineapple filling evenly over the crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set on the edges.
- Allow bars to cool completely in pan. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
Notes
Ensure the crust is pre-baked to avoid sogginess. A firm, golden crust is key to holding the filling. Store in an airtight container for freshness. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
