We miss Auntie Pat, but not her "squares"... Like lemon squares, these pineapple squares are sweet, tart, and fruity!
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- All-Purpose Flour: 2 1/2 Cup
- Vegetable Shortening: 1 Cup
- Milk: 1/2 Cup
- For the filling:
- Crushed Pineapple: 30 oz
- Tapioca: 7 TBSP
- Granulated Sugar: 1 Cup
- For the icing:
- Powdered Sugar: 1 Cup
- Unsalted Butter (Softened): 1/2 Cup
- Cream Cheese: 8 Oz
- Vanilla Extract: 1 TBSP
Instructions
- For the Crust:
- Blend shortening and flour together until flaky. Add milk and mix well. Roll out onto prepared cookie sheet. Roll flat and press into corners and up the sides like a pizza crust.
- For the Filling:
- Mix the pineapple, tapioca, and sugar well. Spread over crust in the cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees until the bottom of the crust is done. Cool completely.
- For the frosting:
- Mix all ingredients well (let butter and cream cheese come to room temp). Spread over pineapple bars. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if you prefer. Serve.
