Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 20 ounces Canned crushed pineapple (drained)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

To make the pie crust, combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the drained crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Cook while stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and stir them into the pineapple mixture along with the vanilla extract. Mix well and set the filling aside.

Step 8

Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, pressing gently into the edges.

Step 9

Pour the pineapple filling into the prepared crust.

Step 10

Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling, trim the excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a golden, sugary finish.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
