Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and powdered sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  5. Remove the pineapple mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour it over the crust in the baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg over the top of the pineapple mixture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  9. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
