PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE
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

[email protected]This pie was delicious, I would definitely recommend it! It is a bit time-consuming to make, but it is worth it. The only thing I would do differently next time is to use less sugar in the filling. Overall, this pie is a great dessert for any occasio

[email protected]This pie was a huge hit at my last party! The combination of the sweet pineapple and the creamy filling was perfect. I used a graham cracker crust, which gave the pie a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this pie again and again.
