This Pineapple Bake is a beloved retro classic—part casserole, part dessert—that blends the bright tang of pineapple with creamy richness and a buttery crumb topping. Popular in church suppers, potlucks, and family reunions since the mid-20th century, it’s often served as a side dish with ham or pork… or sneaked as a sweet treat after dinner.
With just 5 simple ingredients and one baking dish, it’s the kind of recipe that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly practical.
