How to Make Baked Pineapple Recipe without Bread:

• Step 3 – Baked in the Oven – Place the pineapple slices on a foil lined baking sheet. You can also use a baking mat.

• Step 4 – Top with brown sugar – Sprinkle the brown sugar on top.

• Step 5 – Bake Pineapple – Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you are all set to enjoy the best dessert. If you are feeling fancy, add a mint sprig to have a really awesome dessert with very little effort.

Tips for Easy Pineapple Dessert:

• Pineapple – We recommend using fresh pineapple for this dessert. Canned fruit doesn’t hold up very well in this recipe.
• Slicing pineapple – Slice pineapple about the same size so it cooks evenly.
• Baking Sheet – We recommend lining baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. This allows for easy clean up and to easily remove the pineapple.
• Brown Sugar – We used brown sugar in this recipe, but you can easily use a healthier sweetener to fit within your diet.

Topping Ideas:

• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Caramel Syrup
• Whipped Topping
• Crushed up graham crackers
• Mandarin Oranges

Not only does this make an amazing dessert but you can serve the slices alone with holiday ham, as a side dish and more! Everyone will love it.

Baked Pineapple Dessert Variations

• Pineapple – If you do not have fresh pineapple, try using crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks in a prepared baking dish. It will still be amazing but have more of a baked pineapple pineapple casserole consistency.
• Casserole Dish – Instead of a baking sheet, you can use a casserole dish if you would like to serve it that way.
• Top with Sauce – Add caramel sauce on top of the ice cream for an extra treat or even cool whip.
• Serve as a side dish – Omit the ice cream and serve this as a side dish to ham, chicken and lots more. Grilled chicken or baked ham would be amazing with this. We really love this.

How to Store:

Place leftover baked pineapple in an air tight container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

If you prefer to have it warm again, heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds then top with ice cream.
