Do you love cobblers, whether it’s a strawberry, cherry, or peach cobbler? How about pineapple upside-down cake? Well, this pineapple cobbler takes the best of both desserts to make a scrumptious summer treat.

All you need is 6 ingredients to make this super easy pineapple cobbler recipe: baking mix, canned pineapple, brown sugar, flour, butter, and milk. Then it will be ready to eat in just a few simple steps. First, we have to make the pineapple filling and then the topping. In about 30 minutes it will be ready to eat.

There’s just something about the sweet pineapple combined with the deliciously buttery crust that sends my taste buds into overdrive! Fortunately, I’m not the only one who loves this recipe, so I regularly make pineapple cobbler every summer. To take it to the next level, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Now let’s go ahead and make this beauty!

Recipe Ingredients

  • Baking mix (such as Pioneer or Bisquick)
  • Pineapple chunks (important that you have chunks here)
  • Milk
  • Brown sugar
  • Flour
  • Butter

How to Make Pineapple Cobbler

Place butter, flour, pineapple juice, and sugar in a saucepot and bring to a boil.

In a medium saucepot, place your butter and add in the juice from the cans of pineapple.  

Also, add in your brown sugar and flour.

Stir that up well and bring just to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly.

Stir until completely thickened.

Stir that until it is all completely blended and thickened, with no lumps. 

Stir in pineapple chunks.

Then stir in your pineapple chunks. 

Pour filling into baking dish.

Pour this into a baking dish. This will make enough for a 9×13 but I’m using a 9×9 baking dish and it will just be a little deeper. 

Mix together milk, baking mix, and brown sugar to form batter.

 In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar and baking mix.

Stir in milk. 

Mix together until smooth.

Stir until the cobbler batter is smooth and creamy.

Pour batter over filling in baking dish.

 Pour batter evenly over the pineapple mixture

 Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the very center comes out clean (don’t stick the toothpick too far down, just about 1/2 an inch).

Storage

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and simply reheat in the microwave before serving.

Recipe Notes 

To really emulate that pineapple upside-down cake flavor, you can totally fold 1 small jar of maraschino cherries into your filling.

Recipe FAQs

What do you serve with pineapple cobbler?

Serve your pineapple cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Bonus points for adding a drizzle of caramel sauce. YUM!

Can I use fresh pineapple in my pineapple cobbler?

Yes, you can use fresh pineapple chunks in your cobbler. However, the pineapple juice from the cans really enhances the filling’s delicious pineapple flavor, which is why I recommend using canned pineapple.

  1. Oh Christy,

    You are a woman of my own heart. Vacation on the water in a cabin and all meals prepared for you. In my life when we go places I have learned to not be afraid to go and ask about recipes. You can meet very fun people and get a great recipe!!! Have some great memories of the children so humiliated by me and I remember a time when my Sam 3rd grader refused to give me a kiss goodbye which was a thing I demanded when I drop them off at school. So I let him go on his way to school parked the car and I met him in his classroom and I got that kiss. From then on he never refused to give me a kiss again. Sadly, up to his 14th year in the summer he passed and went to be with the lord that is when the kisses ended. But that memory will always stay with me!!!!

  2. where do i see the full recipe here..the amounts..nothing showing..i,vewent through this three times already..hate recipes like this..no amount shown..

  3. I enjoyed the this cobbler. the crust was a beautiful crisp golden brown and the sauce was superb. I loved it. Will make again. Thank you

  4. topping instructions say
    ‘pour over the pineapples in sauce
    ‘ pour? the mixture was like a pie crust dough, not pourable at all… 2 cups bisquick, I cup br sugar and 1 cup milk does not make something you can “pour”. Whats up with that? in oven now, will see what happens..

    1. “What’s up with that?”
      Well, it is certainly pourable in my photographs (see above) and experience. Pie fillings, cake batters, all manner of things are pourable at different consistencies. This is a terminology you’ll often see in recipes for that very reason. Either way, I hope you enjoy the cobbler. 🙂

  5. I Love this Cobbler – Mama use to make this – Im 53 years and Mama puts me in the Kitchen when I was 5 years old – to learn how to cook. So my last Job – was at Stones Restaurant – for 35 years. My Boss – Margie Stone will be 86 in May – Has been in business for 40 years – She Closed the Restaurant – For Good. We all hatedto see it Close. I Love the bowl that you have the Cobbler in – I Have the Set of Dishes – Just Like This – If Im right – these are from the 60,s. Daddy have to but two sets and extra – Plate – Bowl and a Saucer – because there was 9 of us – I Have these Dshes in my China Cabinet. Thanks for the Recipe Christy – God Bless.
