09 Step
Recipe View
Before serving, top with your favorite topping: meringue, freshly whipped cream, or a dollop of whipped topping.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling after removing it from the heat.
Ensure the pineapple is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy pie.
A graham cracker crust can be used as an alternative to a traditional pie crust for a different flavor profile.
If you don't have a pre-baked pie crust, you can easily make your own or use a store-bought refrigerated crust.
