Unsweetened coconut reduces sugar content.

Start by draining the can of pineapple tidbits.

In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until blended and no lumps remain.

Spread the sugar and flour mixture evenly over the drained pineapple in an 8x8 baking dish.

Add 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese over the pineapple and sugar mixture.

Crush 2 tubes of Ritz crackers and sprinkle them over the cheese layer, leaving some texture.

Melt 1 stick of salted butter in the microwave, covered with a coffee filter to avoid mess.

Drizzle the melted butter over the Ritz cracker layer.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for about 30 minutes, checking for bubbling in the center.

If the edges brown too much, cover with tin foil and continue baking until bubbly in the center.

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
