GRANDMA T'S PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE
My Dad's mom would make this for him every time we visited Illinois. As a child, I could hardly wait for the filling to cool enough to eat. The secret is to stir constantly for a rich, velvety smooth pudding-like melt-in-your-mouth experience. These instructions are per my grandmother, written down by my mother not too long before Grandma passed away. Grandma wouldn't give the recipe away until her last years. It's a family treasure now! Top the pie with meringue, whipped cream, or whipped topping.

My mother-in-law's pineapple pie was a favorite with the threshing crew. A nice, big slice of it made the harvest work more enjoyable. Now, I make Theresa's trademark pie to remember her.-Elaine Salonek, Waverly, MN

- Cover with top crust, seal the edges and cut a couple vents in the top crust.

- Bake at 425°F for 35 minutes.
Tips:
- To make sure the crust bakes evenly, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help prevent the pie from becoming lumpy.
- Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will become stiff and grainy.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
