Pineapple Pie
Posted on 30 November 2010
The holidays always bring out those warm family memories. And it seems like so many of the memories involve food somehow, especially where our grandmothers are concerned.
One of my very favorite “grandma” foods was my grandma’s Pineapple Pie. I’m certain my grandma had one of these pies made every time we made the trip to Arkansas to visit and not just on holidays.
This Thanksgiving was the first time I tried making it and we were all very pleased with how it turned out – instant memories all around! Fortunately my mom was there to do the lattice top as she remembered it bubbling in the oven without some kind of cutout in the pastry dough. This will always be on our menu going forward. 
PINEAPPLE PIE
my Grandmother’s Recipe
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon minute tapioca
Combine ingredients and mix well. Pour into pie crust, dot with butter and top with lattice crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.

My grandmother used to make a pineapple cream pie. It was one of those recipes she never wrote down and I would give anything to have it! Yours looks wonderful and I just might have to try it!!

I so much love pineapple pie. It is very common in my country. It is even sold in a small version at the local bakeries. I wish, I can have a piece right now.
The recipe is very similar but we do not add tapioca.
Thanks fro sharing this option.

Your pie is almost too pretty to eat…almost! Sounds really yummy!
I found some great recipes on your website, including this pineapple pie. But I noticed you haven’t published any new recipes recently, did you stop permanently?
