Ingredients

• 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 9-inch rounds Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the pineapple chunks to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.

Step 6

Pour the cooled pineapple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. You can leave it whole, cut slits to allow steam to escape, or create a lattice design.

Step 8

Trim and crimp the edges of the pie to seal the crusts together.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Pineapple Pie!
