Utensils & Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 9-inch deep dish pie plate
  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wire whisk

Ingredients List

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust softened at room temperature for 20 mins
  • 1 can 20 ounce crushed pineapple drained
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat Oven

  • Preheat oven to 425℉.

Prepare The Crust

  • The crust should sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes as directed on the packaging.
  • Spray the pie plate with cooking spray.
  • Firmly press the crust into the pie plate, up the edge, and onto the rim. Crimp the edge to create a scalloped look.
  • Bake the crust for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Completely cool the crust before using. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in refrigerator.
  • Lower the oven temp to 325℉.

Prepare The Filling

  • In medium saucepan add the milk and cornstarch. Whisk together until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  • Stir in the 3 egg yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar.
  • Stirring constantly, cook on medium-low heat for 8 - 10 minutes or until the mixture begins to bubble and is thick enough to form soft peaks.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the crushed pineapple, 1 Tbsp of butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Spoon mixture into the cooled crust.

Prepare The Meringue Topping

  • In medium bowl beat the 3 egg whites with electric mixer until foamy.
  • Continue bearing while adding the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time.
  • Beat until stuff peaks form.
  • Spoon the meringue over the hot filling.

Bake

  • Bake at 325℉ for 20 - 25 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.

Cool Down

  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. The meringue will cool off almost immediately but the pineapple must cool completely to thicken.
