Pineapple Pie

This Pineapple pie was posted by Natalie on Tasty Kitchen and the name of the drew me in. “Grandma Inez’s Pineapple Pie.” Grandma’s make the best pies.  This pie was good, just not as good as some of the others we’ve had.  The meringue tastes better than most but fell short in the pretty department.  No matter, it has a great personality!   I really like pineapple so I thought this would be good and different.  All the recent yellow pies have been tart, this one is sweet.  At the end of the year when all 52 pies are done, I don’t think this will remembered as the crowd favorite. It did get great reviews on Tasty Kitchen and was rated 4.67 out of 5 with 15 people posting comments.  So don’t take my word for it, bake an easy pineapple pie and try it for your self.

Pineapple Pie

The ingredients are simple: sugar, butter, egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla, water, crushed pineapple and a whole pre-baked pie crust.  For the meringue you will need egg whites, salt, Cream of Tartar, sugar and vanilla.

First separate the eggs retaining the egg whites for the meringue.

Next cream the sugar, butter and egg yolks in a saucepan.  Add the cornstarch, vanilla, water, and crushed pineapple.  Stir until well blended.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.

After only a few minutes the mixture began to thicken.  Keep stirring!

Pour the thickened mixture into the baked pie crust.

Maybe I have an aversion to meringue in general. 
This pie might have scored higher with just whipped cream.

But I made the meringue anyway!  First beat the egg whites until foamy.  Foamy … check.
IMG_7976
Add the Cream of Tartar.

Add the salt and vanilla too.  Then gradually beat in the sugar a little at a time.

Whip until the meringue forms soft peaks and is smooth and glossy.

Place meringue over the cooled pie. 
Bake at 400 degrees for a few minutes until light brown on top.

Allow the pie to cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

    This was absolutely AMAZING!!! This Pineapple Pie is incredible. I make my own pie crust with week old cake that I’ve ground-up with Nilla wafers and mixed with mayonnaise. I bake it at 350 for 15 minutes until it’s a nice golden brown somewhat black-charcoaly color. Then I add the pineapple pie mix. Yum! Amazing.
