Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Use 4 cups of pineapple chunks, preferably thawed frozen pineapple from Walmart.

Melt 1/2 stick of butter (4 tablespoons) in the microwave.

In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with the melted butter.

Measure out the pineapple chunks, ensuring to use only a little juice if desired to avoid thinning the sauce too much.

Add the pineapple chunks to the butter and sugar mixture, tossing gently to coat each piece without stirring too much.

Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying it to prevent sticking.

Spread the coated pineapple chunks evenly in the baking dish.
