Ingredients
1 can pineapple chunks or tidbits with juice
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Spread the pineapple with its juice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. Sprinkle brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt over the pineapple, then stir gently.
4. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pineapple layer.
6. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top without stirring.
7. Drizzle melted butter slowly over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the pineapple filling bubbles around the edges.
9. Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving so the creamy filling can settle.
Notes
Avoid leaving large dry patches of cake mix on top. Drizzle the butter slowly and evenly so the topping bakes golden instead of powdery.
