Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 2 cans (20 oz each) pineapple chunks (use 2 cups of pineapple chunks)
  • Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with the milk and egg until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add cream cheese and vanilla: Incorporate the cream cheese and vanilla extract into the wet mixture, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently fold them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  7. Fold in pineapple chunks: Carefully fold in approximately 2 cups of pineapple chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Transfer and spread batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time helps it set and makes for easier serving.
  11. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich, creamy texture.
  • The cobbler can be served warm or at room temperature, but warming brings out the best flavors.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • You can substitute crushed pineapple if preferred, though chunk pineapple adds more texture.
  • If you want a slightly crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
