1 1/2 cups coconut
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Combine brown sugar, flour, butter, coconut, and sugar until crumbly. Spread about two-thirds of the mixture in a 9-inch-square pan. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, pineapple, butter, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil while stirring over medium heat. Cool slightly. Spread over bottom layer. Cover with remaining crumbs, pressing down with your hand. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut while warm.
