Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.75 cups granulated sugar
• 4 units large eggs
• 1.75 cups crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Cut in the 1 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the flour-butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1.25 cups of granulated sugar, baking powder, remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and the drained crushed pineapple. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the baked crust.

Step 7

Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set.

Step 8

Allow the pineapple bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Step 9

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
