This is SO yum! I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the 1/4 cup butter, and still it's moist and delish. I also added chopped dried cherries instead of nuts. My husband loves pineapple, and we both love this. Thanks Kittencal!

Just delicious! A nice pineapple orange flavor without anything else to distract from the simplicity. I liked the crunch of the pecans! Will make this again and again!

Very moist and delicious! Converted to the bread machine; works fine. The brown crumblies that are sprinkled over the whipped cream are caramelized pieces of brown sugar, left on the sides of the bread machine after baking. Thanks, Kitten, for a super dessert and breakfast bread.

We love sweet breads, and this one is going to be a regular. The only thing that I may do different next time is to add just a little more pineapple with a little less juice.
