Fresh Pineapple Crisp

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175 Degrees C (350 F).

Step 2

Grease your baking dish with a little butter, or oil spray. You'll need a ceramic or glass dish that is about 2.3 litres (2.5 quart) capacity.

Step 3

Prepare your pineapple. If using fresh, you'll need to remove the top and base, and trim the skin. Remove the core and cut into chunks.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, cornflour and 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Add this to your greased baking dish.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar, plain flour, oats and butter. Mix well - you can start off by stirring, but I ultimately like to rub the butter between my fingers to create a lovely, crumbly texture! Top the pineapple evenly with your crumble mixture.

Step 6

Bake in your preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges.

Step 7

I like to allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving - the flavours are better developed when they're not boiling hot straight from the oven! Then serve with cream, ice cream or custard.
