I wanted to share it with readers now in case they want to make this pie for any of their holiday celebrations. Maybe this recipe will take you back in time, too.

CREAM CHEESE PINEAPPLE PIE This is a recipe from an old cookbook from the Northeastern United States. 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust Fruit Layer: 1/3 cup sugar 1 tbsp cornstarch 1 (8-oz) can crushed pineapple with its own juice In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and pineapple (do not drain). Cook the mixture over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and clear. Set aside and allow to cool. When cooled, spread the mixture over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Cream Cheese Layer: 1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 cup chopped pecans Blend the cream cheese, sugar, and salt together in a mixer bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each one. Blend in the milk and vanilla. (It is okay if the mixture looks curdled.) Pour the mixture over the pineapple layer in the crust. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over all. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 50 minutes. Cool before cutting. Enjoy!
