Received this recipe in an email; the picture sold me. Could also add a little coconut to give it that "tropical" flavor. Posting for future use... *cooling time not included in prep/cooking times*

Provided by AZPARZYCH

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup crushed pineapple in juice
1 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup water
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Steps:

  • Pineapple Filling:
  • Mix 1 cup crushed pineapple and juice (8 1/4-ounce can), 1 cup sugar, 2 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1 Tablespoon butter, and 1 cup water in saucepan.
  • Cook until thickened, cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cream together shortening and sugar thoroughly.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Mix in rolled oats.
  • Press and flatten half of the mixture over bottom of a 13 x 9 1/2 x 2 inch greased pan.
  • Spread with cooled filling.
  • Top with remaining crumb mixture, patting lightly.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • While warm cut into bars and remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple is essential for the best flavor. If you can, use a ripe pineapple that is juicy and sweet.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Properly: This step is important for creating a light and fluffy batter. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Bars Until Golden Brown: The bars are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These flaky pineapple bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With their sweet and tangy pineapple filling and flaky crust, these bars are sure to be a favorite.
