• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and clears. Add juice mixture to cooked pineapple and stir well to mix.
• To make crumble topping: Combine flour, sugar, vanilla and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs; do not over mix.
• Preheat oven to 350. Transfer cooked pineapple mixture into a large dish. Sprinkle with the crumb topping and bake until golden brown, about 30 - 40 minutes.
