Pineapple squares??? anyone have a recipe?

Question

when I was growing up a friend's mother use to make us pineapple squares. They were on a rectangular cookie sheet maybe an inch deep or so and had some sort of crust with a pineapple filling on top. I would love to make them, but have not found a recipe that sounds like what I'm looking for.....

Answer 2

Maybe you could modify the following recipe. I have used this recipe many times (years ago) and recall that it was very good pastry crust. An easy recipe. Found the original in a local home magazine.
Or -- are you describing a dessert that is much like lemon bars? Perhaps a lemon bar recipe modified would be what you want.

Pineapple Turnovers
8 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 cubes butter
1 2/3 c. flour

Beat butter & cream cheese until smooth. Mix in flour, gather into a ball, refrigerate at least 2 hrs.

Heat oven to 425. Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll one part into a square 10"x10". Cut into 4 squares (5"x5" each).
Repeat.
