A very ripe golden pineapple beckoned from the fridge to be used up quickly, so I decided it would somehow become dessert last night.
A recent conversation about whether or not one could still still buy Orange Pineapple Ice Cream ( I still don't know the answer), served as the inspiration for the flavours in this crumble.
I also decided to add some coconut to my crumble to make it even a little more tropical.
I served it with some good vanilla bean ice cream to bump up the indulgence even more.
That result, of the combination with the orange and pineapple flavours, was instantly reminiscent of that childhood favorite ice cream...but better. Testers so far are raving about this one.
Toss together until well combined:
3 cups diced fresh pineapple
zest of one large orange, finely minced
juice of one orange
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon corn starch
½ cup sugar
Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9x9 inch glass baking dish.
Crumble
In a large bowl toss together:
1 teaspoon baking powder
1cups rolled oats (large)
1 cup flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup shredded coconut
Using your hands rub thoroughly through the dry ingredients:
¾ cup cold butter, cut in small cubes.
Press the crumble mixture together in handfuls then break it apart in bite sized pieces evenly over the top of the prepared pineapple mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Barry, Thanks for the FN invite which in turn made be discouver your blog.You've got some great recipes! Love your take on the traditional crisp recipe. Delicious flavour combination with the pineapple and coconut. I can just feel that tropical breeze coming from the islands. Looking forward to sharing recipes.
This sounds delicious! I think I'd grind oats to make oat flour instead of regular (in the topping) and I'd also use coconut oil instead of butter. I was also thinking I might use mango instead of pineapple, or even a combination of the two.
Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
