How to Make Pina Colada Crumb Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare crumb mixture: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture for the topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Make the pina colada filling: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups crushed pineapple (canned, well-drained), ½ cup macadamia nuts (chopped), ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and ½ cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
- Pour the pineapple filling evenly over the crumb crust.
- Mix the topping: Add 1 cup chopped walnuts to the reserved 1 cup of crumb mixture. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit filling. Gently press down with your fingers to adhere.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Optional: Drizzle with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze after cooling.
