Grandma T's Pineapple Cream Pie image

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.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit of cinnamon to the filling.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used fresh pineapple. I will try making it again with canned pineapple.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a graham cracker crust instead of a regular pie crust.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect. I will try making it again with less sugar.
