Cinnamon Fried Pineapple
Cinnamon Fried Pineapple features fresh pineapple wedges coated in a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then pan-cooked in butter and water until tender and caramelized. This produces a warm, fragrant fruit dish with a balance of sweet and spicy notes, soft texture, and a subtly sticky sauce. It can be served as a side dish or dessert with toppings like toasted coconut, whipped cream, ice cream, or maraschino cherries for added richness and texture.
