Instructions
Pineapple Pie Bars
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan with butter, baking spray, or non-stick cooking.
Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Add each egg one at a time, beginning with the first egg and the vanilla extract. Mix between adding each additional egg. *If your mixture starts to curdle, add a tablespoon or two of all-purpose flour.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour just until it is evenly distributed throughout the dough. Set aside 1 cup of dough for the topping.
Add the remaining dough to your prepared baking pan and spread it in an even layer over the bottom. Then, top the dough with pineapple pie filling. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the reserved 1 cup of dough over the top of the pineapple filling.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the cobbler bars are golden and the topping is set and no longer doughy, about 30-35 minutes. When done, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool fully before adding the icing.
Vanilla Glaze
After the bars have cooled, combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Adjust the thickness as needed to reach a consistency that will cling to the back of a spoon but drizzles easily.
Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled cobbler bars then cut and serve right away or allow the glaze to set before cutting.
Notes
If you're out of canned pineapple pie filling, try my easy homemade pineapple pie filling!
I love the combination of pineapple and coconut and these easy pineapple cobbler squares are amazing with a sprinkle of toasted coconut!
To store: Keep any leftover pineapple cobbler bars in an airtight container at room temperature without the glaze and enjoy within 2 days. (If using a dairy-based glaze, your bars should be refrigerated.)
To freeze: If you plan on freezing your pineapple pie bars, wait until they are thawed to add the glaze. Wrap the cobbler bars tightly in heavy-duty foil, then place them in a freezer bag or storage container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving and enjoy within 3 months.
