Notes

For a crisper topping, ensure the butter is evenly distributed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, and freeze for up to three months. Consider adding chopped nuts for crunch or swapping half of the crushed pineapple for another fruit like peaches or mango.
