Description
A tropical twist on a Southern classic, this pineapple pie blends sweet and tangy flavors with a golden, flaky crust.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple or drained canned crushed pineapple
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 9-inch pre-made pie crust (plant-based)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a saucepan, combine pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, applesauce, and lemon zest.
Stir over medium heat until thickened (5-7 minutes).
Pour filling into the pie crust and spread evenly.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Cool on rack for 20 minutes, then refrigerate before slicing.
Notes
Use fresh pineapple for brighter flavor.
Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
