- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Pineapple Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and cook until the pineapple is tender and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Making the Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in the milk to form a thick batter.
- Assembling the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish. The topping does not need to cover all the pineapple as it will spread during baking.
- Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serving: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
