This is a favorite from the French cookbook my friend Jessica brought me. The original attempt (with way too much butter after the conversion from metric and translation) is here:

I did some alterations today, trying to make it heartier/healthier.
Ingredients:
- 2 small pineapples
- real vanilla
- brown sugar
- butter
- flour
- oats
Cut the pineapple and 'perfume' with about 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Grease dish with butter. I used my Le Creuset skillet today.
Sprinkle with brown sugar. The original suggests 3 tablespoons. I didn't measure.
Arrange pineapple in the bottom of the dish.
Make sandy crumbs with remaining ingredients. The recipe suggests 2 more teaspoons vanilla, 2 cups flour and 2 cups brown sugar. And butter -- at room temperature.
I tried:
- vanilla
- one cup unbleached flour
- one cup oats
- one cup brown sugar
- 1/2 stick butter
Cover pineapple with crumbs and bake for 45 minutes at 350.
Pineapple upside down cake without the cake. Could also be peach cobbler without the peach. Still sounds good to me.
