💡 Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Bake
-
Extra moisture: Don’t over-drain the pineapple completely; a little juice keeps the bake moist.
-
Make it fancy: Sprinkle extra chopped pecans or coconut on top before baking for a crunchy topping.
-
Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat slightly before serving.
