Start by cutting the outside rind/peel off the pineapple then slice into approx 8 slices.

Remove the center core to make rings. You can use a pineapple corer, knife, or cookie cutter. 

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

Melt 2-3 tbsp unsalted butter. You don’t need much but if you want extra to drizzle I do 3 tbsp. 

Preparing in batches, brush melted butter on 3-4 pineapple slices.

Sprinkle on brown sugar mixture. Flip over and add to the other side. 

Add the prepared pineapple to the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.  Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Repeat with remaining pineapple.

Serve warm in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Add any remaining brown sugar butter sauce “drippings” from the air fryer as a drizzle on top.
