Delicious Old Fashion Recipe For Cream Cheese Pineapple Pie As soon as I posted this recipe on my vintage web site I started getting messages from readers about how they had enjoyed this pie years ago and couldn't find the recipe. 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!

How to Make a Delicious Pineapple Dessert Pie

When it comes to making homemade dessert pies, you don't have to slave for hours making a recipe that is difficult and time consuming. This particular recipe was given to me 25 years ago by my grandmother and to this day, it is one of our favorites to make.

You can purchase two pre-made pie shells or make your own pie crust using your favorite recipe. Once the pie has completely cooled to room temperature, you will want to store it in the refrigerator.

When it comes to serving it, I recommend vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt or some whipped topping. If desired, you can place a few fresh cherries on top of your chosen topping right before serving.

Pineapple Pie Recipe

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca

1/4 teaspoon table salt

4 cups fresh pineapple, chopped into pieces

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 unbaked pastry shells

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, tapioca and table salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pineapple pieces and lemon juice. Gently stir the sugar mixture into the pineapple mixture to combine all ingredients together. Let this mixture stand at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.

Pour mixture into an unbaked pastry shell and dot the top with butter or margarine. Use the second pastry shell to make a top crust, seal the edges with a tad of water if necessary.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until done. Cool pie to room temperature and then refrigerate.
