Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Dusting:
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Mix flour and sugar, then cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a greased 9Γ13 inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine drained pineapple, sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set. Cool completely.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy crust.
- For a gluten-free version, use a suitable gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
