How This Recipe Comes Together
Creating this Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler is a breeze, starting with simple preparations and a few bowls. Gather your ingredients, and let’s get into the process! You’ll mix the pineapple with sugar to allow it to release some of its juices while preparing the batter. This is crucial for that moist, delectable bite when you serve it fresh from the oven.

To make your Pineapple Cream Cheese Cobbler, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Substitutions: If fresh pineapple isn’t available, you could use canned pineapple, but ensure it’s well-drained for the best results.
