🥧 Southern Pineapple Pie – A Sweet Slice of the South 🍍✨
This old-fashioned pineapple pie is rich, creamy, and bursting with tropical flavor. With a buttery crust and luscious filling, it’s perfect for holidays, Sunday supper, or whenever you need a comforting dessert.
🍍 Ingredients:
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
½ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for a warm spice note)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
Prepare Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until smooth.
Add Pineapple:
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly mixed.
Assemble Pie:
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake:
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. (You can tent the edges with foil if the crust browns too quickly.)
Cool:
Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
🧁 Serve With:
Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent Southern treat!
