Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Pineapple Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple (or drained crushed pineapple) with granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the pineapple is evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, salt, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract until it forms a crumbly mixture. Ensure that the butter is well incorporated.

        Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the pineapple filling in the baking dish.

          Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
