Pour the mixed dry ingredients over the pineapple in the casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Crush the Ritz crackers and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the mixture in the casserole dish.

Slice 1 stick of butter thinly and lay it evenly across the top of the Ritz crackers.

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, checking for it to be bubbly and gooey.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
