No! Being alone--I don't need a recipe for 9 or so many people! Would appreciate recipes for 1 or 2 people!

I added a little extra brown sugar and probably an extra 1 -2 tbsp of toasted coconut because of reviews that said it was bland. It was definitely sweet and delicious with a bit of tart from the pineapple. My husband only liked it with ice cream, I thought it was better without though. I would think using canned pineapple might not get it as soft. I will definitely make this again.

My Mom made this the other day. I did not care for the bananas in it. Next time maybe put coconut and mandarin oranges in it.

We loved this receipe. Tart on the first bite, but its great! The sweetness of the bananas helped to curb the tartness of the pineapple. This would be great for breakfast also.

My family did not care for this. Too bland.

My family didn't like the bananas in it; gave it a bland taste. so next time I make it I will use peaches or mangos in.

One of the best desserts I've ever had/made...will definitely be a staple in my household from now on. I topped it with one scoop of low fat frozen yogurt and it really brought it together!

If 9 servings are too many for you, just make half a recipe in a smaller baking dish. I increase and decrease recipes all the time, according to our needs, and everything always turns out great! I have not yet tried this crisp recipe but I plan to make it this weekend. It sounds delicious!

Could you substitute canned pineapple chunks?
