Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 oz can pineapple chunks in juice (drained (reserve 3 Tbsp of the juice))
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
15 buttery round crackers (I used Ritz)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the sugar, flour and three tablespoons of pineapple juice in a medium-size bowl until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the drained pineapple chunks and mix well to ensure the pineapple chunks are covered with the liquid.
  • Grease a small baking dish with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the pineapple mixture in the dish and spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture.
  • Place the crackers in a small plastic storage bag and crush them with your hands. Add the butter and squish around until the butter and cracker crumbs are well mixed.
  • Sprinkle the cracker/butter topping evenly over the top of the cheese.
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pineapple mixture is bubbly.
