Step-by-Step Instructions
  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 the cold unsalted butter until crumbly, then press it into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes until golden.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together large eggs and granulated sugar until smooth. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple and mix until combined.
  4. Pour the pineapple filling over the crust and spread evenly. Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
