Pineapple Cobbler

Please try this easy sweet and tart and light crust pineapple cobbler this weekend and make a hit with the pineapple lover in your family.



I love to uses two cans Dole Pineapple Chunks because they really taste like fresh pineapple.

 

Cook pineapple mixture about 30 mins until pineapple or clear and done and then.....

Mix 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoon corn starch and two tablespoon plain flour mix together until smooth and little thick.






Pour just a little cornstarch / flour water into the pineapple mixture and stirring until it start getting thick not to much because it will get thick too fast and you don't want to throw it out and start over.

If you want a juicy cobbler add less cornstarch/flour water.




I love a home made pie crust /but I love to use kroger pie crust too!



1.Bake one crust in oven until golden brown...break it up in the pineapple mixture.
2.Place the other crust on top
3.Bake until golden brown on 400

 Slice them like this and place in a frying pan with 1/4 cup of oil turn them into the oil covering the potatoes adding salt and black pepper to taste


Adding 1 cup sliced Onions on top covering all the potatoes evenly.


Adding 1/2 cup each red and green sliced peppers. next covering the onions and potatoes. you can add more salt and black pepper if you like.
