Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.3333 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.75 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cornmeal, and salt until well combined.
Add the melted butter to the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.
Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This step ensures the filling sets properly.
Slice and serve the pie as is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
