👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
Step 2 — Prepare the Base
In a medium bowl, combine the drained pineapple, crushed cornflakes, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3 — Make the Topping
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and vanilla until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pineapple mixture. Optional: add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
Step 4 — Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
