Move over, blackberry cobbler! Pineapple cobbler is here! And if you haven’t tried pineapple cobbler before then let me tell you: DO IT soon.

As you know by now, I’m a huge Sprouts fan. Their produce is not only the freshest, but their prices are the best.

And good produce is key here—the pineapple I used in this cobbler? SO GOOD. Without the amazing (super sweet) pineapple I picked up at Sprouts, this cobbler wouldn’t have been half as special.

Why you’ll love this pineapple cobbler:

  • It’s packed with fresh pineapple rather than canned to ensure that your cobbler tastes like a tropical vacation
  • It’s really easy to make, requiring just a few minutes of active time and a little stirring
  • You probably have most or all of the ingredients in your kitchen right now. If not, they’re readily available at grocery stores!

How to make your cobbler

how to make pineapple cobbler

  • Combine pineapple chunks, a little sugar, and lemon zest together in a bowl
  • Stir until the pineapple is coated in the sugar, then let sit for 10 minutes
  • Combine flour, whole milk, and a few more ingredients
  • Stir together until smooth

how to finish easy pineapple cobbler

  • Pour melted butter into a 9-inch baking dish
  • Pour the batter evenly over the butter
  • Spoon the pineapple (and any juices left in the bowl!) over the batter
  • Bake about 50 minutes, until the juices bubble and the top is golden

Notes:

  • This recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of pineapple. You should only need 1 pineapple to get that amount unless the pineapple is really, really small. (I can usually get 4 cups of pineapple from one fruit.)
  • Taste your pineapple before adding the sugar. If it’s not very sweet you can add up to 1/4-cup of additional sugar.
  • Cut your pineapple into chunks about 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick. (I like it on the smaller size because it’s easier to eat but that’s up to you.)
  • The lemon zest helps brighten the flavor of the pineapple but if you don’t have a lemon on hand you can omit the zest.
  • I recommend cooling your dessert for at least half an hour before serving it so the juices can set up a little but you really can serve it right out of the oven—it will just be a little more messy.

How to store

Uneaten cobbler can be stored, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Be sure to cool your cobbler completely before covering and refrigerating it. (If you cover it while it’s warm it can sweat.)

I don’t recommend freezing the cobbler.

Serving ideas

You can serve this warm from the oven or cold the day after it’s made.

I love to serve any cobbler with vanilla ice cream, but there are lots of options for toppings!

  • Coconut sorbet would be delicious, like a piña colada
  • Mango sorbet
  • Strawberry ice cream and/or strawberry sauce
  • Whipped cream is always a good option (if you go that route you might consider a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top too!)

Pineapple cobbler is an easy, from scratch recipe that uses fresh pineapple chunks. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream you can't beat this as a summer dessert!

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 9
Author: Kelsie
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks*
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Stir the pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the lemon zest together in a medium bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring a few times.
  3. Once the pineapple mixture has been sitting for 10 minutes, pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9-inch square (or 11- by 7-inch) baking dish.
  4. Stir the flour, remaining 1 cup of sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Pour evenly over the melted butter.
  5. Spoon the pineapple mixture (and any juices the pineapple has given off) into an even layer on top of the cobbler batter. Don’t be tempted to stir or swirl the batter and the fruit together!
  6. Set baking dish on a large baking sheet in case any juices bubble over, and bake 48 to 58 minutes, until the pineapple has sunk to the bottom of the pan and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes to an hour—longer is fine—so the juices can set up a bit, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream or even just a dusting of powdered sugar.

Recipe Notes
  • *You should easily be able to get 2 1/2 cups of pineapple from one pineapple. Cut the fruit into 1/2-inch to 1-inch chunks.
  • If your pineapple isn’t very sweet you can mix up to another 1/4 cup of sugar into the fruit mixture.
  • Uneaten cobbler can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days. (Be sure to cool your cobbler completely before covering and refrigerating it.)

    What a fun idea! I’ve made cobblers of all sorts over the years, but pineapple is a new one to me. However, I love (!!) fresh pineapple, so I know this one would be a huge hit in our house. I’ve actually been craving pineapple lately, so your timing is perfect. Now if only they’d build a Sprouts next door to me! 🙂

    I love that you made this with fresh pineapple, Kelsie! It’s possibly my favorite fruit to eat (although my answer to that would depend on the day). Either way, this looks amazing and so perfect for summer!

    I’m all about cobblers and fruit crisps during the summer Kelsie. I’ll be sharing a blueberry cobbler soon too. This pineapple one looks totally delish. Adding to my summer baking list!

    What a wonderful cobbler, Kelsie – so bright, refreshing, and summery! I’m a huge fan of crisps, crumbles, and cobblers, but I’ve never used pineapple – I promise I will. Also, loving your idea to serve it with either coconut or mango sorbet/ice cream, but I think it would be awesome to incorporate some coconut flakes into the topping; it would add some nice chewy texture plus the extra flavor.

No joke, I was just shoveling some in my mouth! Obviously I need this cobbler in my life! It’s such a perfect pairing!! I have a feeling this will be my new go-to warm weather dessert!! Pinned!
    P.s we don’t have a Sprouts here.. maybe you can put in a word for me – Pinehurst needs a sprouts! 😉
