Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 unit Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pie crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water (1 tablespoon at a time) and mix until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Prepare the pineapple filling: In a medium saucepan, mix the drained crushed pineapple, 0.75 cups of sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 7

Roll out one disc of the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 8

Pour the cooled pineapple filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.

Step 10

Create the lattice crust: Lay half the dough strips horizontally across the pie. Fold back every other strip halfway, then lay a strip vertically. Unfold the strips and alternate, folding and weaving until the lattice is complete.

Step 11

Trim excess dough from the lattice edges and pinch to seal with the bottom crust. Crimp the edges as desired.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush this mixture over the lattice crust to promote browning.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets. Serve and enjoy!
