For pineapple lovers! This Pineapple Crisp is loaded with fresh pineapple chunks, topped with a brown sugar streusel, and baked until golden! SO good with vanilla ice cream! Easily gluten free dessert.
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.

Does I have to use brown sugar? It’s the only thing I don’t have sadly…
Ashley Fehr says
I haven’t actually tried with granulated sugar, but I think it should work?
Donna Lagarde says
If you have molasses just work in 1-2 Tablespoons per 1 cup of white sugar.
