Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream
- Fresh mint leaves
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust inside a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges with care and precision.
- Combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, granulated sugar, and flour in a large mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs to the pineapple mixture and mix well.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
