Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs (vegan)
• 4 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 15 ounces Canned pineapple chunks (in juice, unsweetened)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (for filling)
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Use the back of a spoon or a flat measuring cup to compact it tightly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.

Step 5

Drain the canned pineapple, reserving the juice. Measure out 1 cup of pineapple chunks and finely chop them. Set both the chopped pineapple and reserved juice aside.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and almond milk until smooth. Stir in the reserved pineapple juice, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Step 7

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble (about 5–7 minutes). Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the chopped pineapple chunks.

Step 9

Pour the pineapple filling into the prepared crust and spread it out evenly. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.

Step 10

Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.

Step 11

Slice and serve as-is or garnish with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, if desired.
