How to make pineapple pie from scratch?

1. Preheat: First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix the pineapple filling: Meanwhile, stir all the ingredients for the pie filling in a large bowl and then smooth it into the prepared crust.
3. Cover the pie: Next, if you are using a pie shell with a top crust, lay the top over the pineapple pie filling and crimp the edges before cutting a few slices in the top for steam vents.

How to make stovetop pineapple pie:

2. Cream cheese: Beat the cream cheese until creamy, and once the pineapple mixture has cooled, beat together to combine.
3. Chill the pie: Next, pour the pie filling into a no-bake crust and let it chill in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for at least two hours or overnight.
4. Cut and serve: Once it is completely chilled and set, it’s time to eat!

Recipe tips:

• Instead of just covering the pie with dough, why not use a nice lattice-crust design? Just roll your pie dough out on a floured surface and slice it into strips. Lay the strips across the top of the pie to make a lattice design.
• Alternatively, use the excess dough to make designs on the pie. Just roll it out flat and use cookie cutters to make hearts, stars, or whatever you like. Then place them on top before cooking.
• If the edges of the pie start getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil.
• Keep your pie crust chilled until you are ready to use it for the best results.
• The sugar can be adjusted to taste. If your pineapples are sweetened, use just half the amount of sugar.
