Southern Pineapple Pie is a sweet and tangy dessert with a buttery, flaky crust and a luscious pineapple filling. This easy-to-make pie is perfect for summer gatherings or holiday feasts, offering a refreshing tropical twist on a classic treat.

 

Ingredients

**For the crust:**

– 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)

**For the filling:**

– 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1/4 cup cornstarch

– 1/2 cup evaporated milk

– 2 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

**For topping (optional):**

– Whipped cream

– Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into place. Trim any excess and crimp the edges.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

4. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and melted butter.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

7. Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing.

8. Serve chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes if desired.

 

Notes

– Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent a runny filling.

– Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

– Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor.

– For a firmer texture, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
