This was delicious! By far the best crisp topping I've had. I thought maybe just canned crushed pineapple would be dull, but on the contrary - it was wonderful. I did the recipe as is and served warm with top quality vanilla ice cream. I'll try this topping with other fruits too. A keeper!

This was very good but not excellent. I found the topping to be absolutely delicious, but the pineapple portion of the cake was just okay. I think I would have preferred it to be more sweet. I think I'll try making this again with the pineapple in heavy syrup...it might make it more flavorful.

I thought this idea was great, but wanted more of just the "crisp". So I left out the egg and baking powder. Mixed all the ingredients (minus the pineapple) together till it was crumbs. Sprinkle over pineapple. Delicious! I added 1/4 cup rolled oats, also.

"Smooth' is misleading here...'sandy' may be more appropriate when describing the mixed together topping. Be aware, it is not a liquid by any means. I used a combination of diced peaches, plums and cantaloupe for about the same amount as recommended for pineapple. Lovely and different. Everyone ate it up!

Super good. I wouldnt add 1/2 C butter on top, it was way to much. other than that it had a wonderful taste and very moist top. You gotta try this one

My new "go to" dessert! I even made it in individual ramekins for a dinner party. One note is the original recipe says to combine the topping until smooth. With one egg and all of the dry ingredients, I don't know if you'll ever get something smooth. Mine turns into a crumbly mixture so I use all of the butter or else I don't think it would cook properly.

Really sweet, but good. I cut back on the butter, and it was plenty. Thanks.

I thought this recipe was great! I bought a pineapple and didn't know what to do with it and this was the perfect way to treat it! I did add a couple different things like oats and white sugar on top to help absorb butter and make a sweet crust. I also topped it with ice cream, caramel, and praline pecans! YUMMO!!

Very Good, I used a fresh pineapple and 1/2 c brown/1/2 c white sugar. Minimally processed pineapple and drained. Was perfect, every one loved it. Super easy to make, this is a keeper.
