Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbly and press into the baking pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until light golden.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, add granulated sugar, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and fold in shredded coconut if using.
  5. Pour the pineapple filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.

Draining the pineapple well helps prevent a soggy filling. Allowing the bars to cool completely ensures clean cuts.
