Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Pinch salt (optional and to taste)
For the Filling:
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup sour cream (plain or vanilla Greek yogurt may be substituted)
- 1 ½ teaspoons McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- One 20-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained (fresh or frozen could likely be substituted)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the butter, 1 cup flour, ½ cup sugar, and optional salt. Using two forks or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a sandy mixture with pea-sized buttery bits forms.
- Reserve ¾ cup of this mixture; set aside.
- Transfer the remaining mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly to form a crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In the same bowl, add the egg, ½ cup sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and ¼ cup flour. Whisk until smooth; set aside.
- Remove the crust from the oven and top evenly with pineapple chunks.
- Carefully pour the sour cream mixture over the pineapple, ensuring it fills the corners.
- Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture over the top to create a crumble topping.
- Bake: Bake for about 35 minutes, or until edges and top are set.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the bars to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
