Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Bliss Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract, then fold in crushed pineapple.
  4. Pour the filling over the hot crust and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until set.
  5. Allow to cool completely in the pan for about an hour, then dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
