TIME: Prep: 20 min. + cooling Bake: 1 hour + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • FILLING:
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

Add pineapple juice. Gradually add milk and vanilla. Sprinkle pineapple over crust. Slowly pour filling over pineapple. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

    I've made these several times and my family always enjoys the results. Even my father who never cared for cheesecake liked these squares. This recipe is a definite keeper.
