Step 1
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and slice into 1/2-inch thick rings. Pat the slices dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 3 tbsp brown sugar and 2 cinnamon sticks, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the slices and cook the other side until caramelized and tender, about 4-5 minutes more. The syrup should be thick and bubbling.
Step 5
Stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract and cook for 1 minute more. Serve warm with the syrup spooned over the top.
