Now be honest. You knew this was going to happen.

Because Pineapple Squares and Pineapple Meatballs and Pineapple Fruit Dip and Pineapple Salsa on Chicken Tacos. I am a pineapple fanatic!

But you already knew that.

I’m not actually sure where I got this idea, but I’m so glad I did! I’d seen some recipes for warm pineapple sundaes and grilled pineapple and I had never actually had warm pineapple in any kind of dessert. But people raved about it, and so I thought, “what better than warm pineapple with crunchy brown sugar streusel and melty vanilla ice cream?!”

The answer? Not too much.

I have a big thing for crisps of all kind. This Berry Cherry Crisp from last summer and if you know me at all, you know I’ve Apple Crisped pretty much everything: pancakes, cookies, cinnamon buns, doughnuts, french toast, smoothies, and the list goes on.

NOTES:

  • This an easily gluten free dessert if you use certified gluten free oats. Be sure to double check if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
  • I made this recipe twice, once with half the streusel, and once as the recipe now is. If you’re looking to cut out some calories/sugar/etc, you could easily halve the streusel recipe and you wouldn’t lose out on too much. Me? I like a lot of streusel.

    This looks absolutely delicious!!! Can I use well-drained canned pineapple chunks in place of the fresh pineapple? Thanks!

    Hi Ashley, this looks great and I can’t wait to try it! On the gluten: Oats are generally gluten free, as is cornstarch, but if one needed to make this gluten-free, I think you would have to use gluten-free flour. Whole wheat flour still has gluten. I think King Arthur makes some gluten-free flours, and probably some other brands, too.

      Oh, I’m so sorry about that! I knew that, and just forgot to make a note. I often use ground gluten-free oats, but just forgot to make a note! Thank you for pointing that out!

    This looks amazing and I have almost everything, however if I don’t have corn starch in the cabinet can I substitute anything for it?

    Well I am SO glad this happened, because I’m totally on board with all things pineapple! ESPECIALLY when it involves brown sugar streusel!! Hook me up, girlfriend because this looks AMAZING! Seriously, I need to stop visiting your site when I’m hungry… I always leave here hangry. And drooling! 😉 This crisp is perfection! Cheers, girlfriend!

    Oh my goodness, warm pineapple is the BEST! Have you ever tried grilling pineapple before? It’s LIFE-CHANGING!
    I’m trying to decide if it’s super-wrong of me to be craving this gorgeous crisp for breakfast. I mean, all I’d have to do is plop some vanilla yogurt on top and it would totally be breakfast right?? 🙂

    • Ashley Fehr says

      Absolutely! The vanilla yogurt swap makes this TOTALLY acceptable for breakfast 😉 And can you believe I have never grilled pineapple??! But I see it EVERYWHERE so I was like, “obviously warm pineapple is good. Let’s put a crisp on it.”

    Hi Ashley! I love grilled pineapple and know I will love this! Sometimes it’s difficult to find a good pineapple, but I’m going to be searching for one now!

    Oh pineapple crisp?! I’m loving this, Ashley! Such a great idea! I’ve never even thought to use pineapple in a dessert like this before, and now I’m kicking myself because this looks SO good. I wish I could dive right into this for breakfast!

      I know! I don’t know that I’ve ever made a pineapple dessert besides my Mom’s pineapple squares either — we always just eat it fresh or use it in savory dishes!
