Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Blind-bake your pre-made pie crust: Line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water.

Step 4

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in lemon juice and butter. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Temper the yolks by slowly adding a few spoonfuls of the hot pineapple mixture while whisking constantly.

Step 7

Gradually whisk the tempered yolks back into the pineapple mixture in the saucepan. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Pour the pineapple filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake the pie at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes to set the filling.

Step 10

Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set before slicing.

Step 11

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
