Then it will be ready to eat in just a few simple steps. First, we have to make the pineapple filling and then the topping. In about 30 minutes it will be ready to eat.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Baking mix (such as Pioneer or Bisquick)
  • Pineapple chunks (important that you have chunks here)
  • Milk
  • Brown sugar
  • Flour

How to Make Pineapple Cobbler

Place butter, flour, pineapple juice, and sugar in a saucepot and bring to a boil.

In a medium saucepot, place your butter and add in the juice from the cans of pineapple.  

Also, add in your brown sugar and flour.

Stir that up well and bring just to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly.

Stir until completely thickened.

Stir that until it is all completely blended and thickened, with no lumps. 

Stir in pineapple chunks.

Then stir in your pineapple chunks. 

Pour filling into baking dish.

Pour this into a baking dish. This will make enough for a 9×13 but I’m using a 9×9 baking dish and it will just be a little deeper. 

Mix together milk, baking mix, and brown sugar to form batter.

 In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar and baking mix.

Stir in milk. 

Mix together until smooth.

Stir until the cobbler batter is smooth and creamy.

Pour batter over filling in baking dish.

 Pour batter evenly over the pineapple mixture

Baked pineapple cobbler.

 Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the very center comes out clean (don’t stick the toothpick too far down, just about 1/2 an inch).

Storage

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and simply reheat in the microwave before serving.

Recipe Notes 

To really emulate that pineapple upside-down cake flavor, you can totally fold 1 small jar of maraschino cherries into your filling.

Recipe FAQs

What do you serve with pineapple cobbler?

Serve your pineapple cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Bonus points for adding a drizzle of caramel sauce. YUM!

Can I use fresh pineapple in my pineapple cobbler?

Yes, you can use fresh pineapple chunks in your cobbler. However, the pineapple juice from the cans really enhances the filling’s delicious pineapple flavor, which is why I recommend using canned pineapple.

We almost ate the whole thing in one sitting Thanks for an excellent recipe guaranteed to be a family favorite for a long time to come.

  5. I made this pineapple cobbler and used Libby’s skinny fruits pineapple chunks that are sweetened with Splenda. I used Splenda brown sugar in custard and the cake topping, fat free milk and real butter. Was soooooooooooooo good. I will make this again for sure. This is a great recipe. Thanks.

  6. I love, love, love pineapple upside down cake and the good news is I have everything I need to make it, she said as she jumped up and down because this never happens. Hang on a minute. Ok, I looked and pigs are not flying but they should be. Thank you so very much for this recipe!!!! 🙂

  7. Back in the 60’s pineapple pie made in a regular shell, was popular, Back then the schools sold cookbooks with recipes from the home ec teachers from across the state of Alabama. Some treasured books, well stained and circled by my grandma. They also did a good many of the gelatin dishes, the only thing that does not appeal to me. One section is called Cakes Made with Fat. Makes me laugh every time. I actually did not see any recipes for cakes made without fat.
    I will try your cobbler version sometime Christy. Looks delish! Thanks
