    The flavor of maple syrup marries well with pineapple, especially glazed right into the surface. If you like pineapple, you're sure to enjoy this nearly instant dessert! It's particularly appealing when made with canned organic pineapple mini-rings.

    Pair this tasty treat with some vanilla ice cream or a warm and gooey chocolate chip cookie. If you're serving it as side dish, these pineapples pair really well with green beans and salads!

    How to Make Maple Glazed Pineapple

    1. Heat plant butter, syrup, and cinnamon in skillet.
    2. Drain and add pineapple.
    3. Cook until pineapple is glazed.
    4. Add dried fruit & remove from heat.
    5. Serve as desired.

    Full directions for how to make Maple Glazed Pineapple are in the printable recipe card below.

    Maple Glazed Pineapple FAQs

    Can I use a sweetener other than maple syrup?

    You can use any kind of sweetener that you prefer! Agave syrup works well, and you can also melt some sugar in the pan and use that.

    Does it matter what shape the pineapple is in?

    You can use any shape and size of pineapple that you would like! Just make sure to get all the sides coated with maple syrup before you put the pineapple in the pan to glaze. I love using pineapple rings, but cubes are also nice.

      What should you use for juice if you are using fresh pineapple? Would orange juice be ok?

      Sara, you don't need juice for this; in the instructions it says to save any juice from a can for a different use. So if using fresh you need not bring in any extra juice. Hope that helps!

      This would work with apples, too. Just make sure they don't get too mushy!
