In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 6

Slice the bananas and arrange them in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

Distribute the drained pineapple chunks evenly over the banana layer.

Step 8

Spread the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping over the pineapple layer, smoothing it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, if using, for added crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Garnish with maraschino cherries (optional).

Step 11

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
