Description
A nostalgic and comforting custard pie made with sweet pineapple and a flaky crust, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream
- Fresh mint leaves
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust inside a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges with care and precision.
- Combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, granulated sugar, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the sugar and flour are completely incorporated.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs to the pineapple mixture. The eggs will help bind the filling and create a rich, custardy texture.
- Pour in the melted butter, which adds a golden richness to the pie.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
- Watch carefully for a golden top and a center that’s set but still slightly jiggly.
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, create a foil shield for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider using sugar substitutes suitable for baking. Allows the pie to cool before slicing for optimal flavor and texture.
