PINEAPPLE COBBLER
This Pineapple Cobbler is a fantastic dessert. Super easy to make and the cherries are a great addition! We make it in an iron skillet but you can easily make it in a 9X13.
If you are a fan of pineapple desserts, you should try this classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It’s also made in an iron skillet!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love the combination of pineapple and coconut so this one goes to the top of the list. Plus it’s simple to make so that is always a plus. We make this in a 10 inch iron skillet but you can also use a 9X13 baking dish. This is a great summer cobbler and wonderful with ice cream or whipped topping.

- Maraschino cherries, drained

🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This is a very simple dessert, takes no time to put together! We love easy recipes and this is certainly one of them.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Spray a 10 inch iron skillet with cooking spray. Add the butter to the skillet and melt in the oven. In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Step 2
Add the milk, pineapple juice and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour into skillet with melted butter and mix with a spoon.

This cobbler is just as good without ice cream. It has a wonderful flavor and the cherries really add to it, but you can leave them off if you are not a fan. This cobbler has a very tropical vibe!

Haven’t made yet but would it alter the taste too much if I left out the coconut? We are not coconut fans.
No, I think it would still be good.
Thank you for posting the recipes. Some places, you have to click on see recipe, then click again, then add then, then, then, I hate that! Wish all recipe posters would do it your way!! Thank you so much!!
I ran across your post of the recipe and had all the ingredients in the pantry…
I’m sitting here eating a piece warm from the oven with my second cup of coffee <3
I love your fb page !!!
If I make this one day ahead does it need to be refrigerated?
Also, someone mentioned making this as cupcakes. I read through your info three times and didn’t see where you mentioned cupcakes???
Thank you!!!
Yes, I would refrigerate this. I have never tried making it as cupcakes and I don’t think that would work, Fran. Hope this helps. Have a good week.

So….. Pineapple upside-down cake, one of my husband’s favorites! I love your idea of CUPCAKES. Wonderful, can’t wait to do these. Thanks
Love this recipe – what can you use besides an iron skillet?
Any baking dish that you have, about 2 or 3 quart dish or a 9×13.
Can this be made without coconut?
I always add the coconut but see no reason why you couldn’t leave it out, Karen.
Being from Kentucky myself, I found your web site and couldn’t stop reading. I can relate to most of the sayings, it was such a blessing to read. Country folk are a special breed of their own. Keep blogging. God bless you.
Welcome, Teresa! So happy to have you on the site and always happy to meet another Kentuckian. Hope you enjoy the recipes and I agree about country folk. Thank you for your great comment and have a wonderful day.
