Time 45m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Dough for single-crust pie
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
3 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edges are light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°., In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in pineapple until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Gradually stir 1 cup hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice. Keep warm., For meringue, in a bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Pour hot filling into crust. Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edge to crust., Bake until meringue is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour; refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting. Refrigerate leftovers.

This recipe needs more detail. I had to guess at a few things, and my pie didn't turn out very well.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out a complete disaster. The meringue was runny and the pineapple filling was watery.

This pie is perfect for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and the pineapple flavor is delicious.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. It's also a nice change from the usual apple or pumpkin pie.

I'm not a huge fan of pineapple pie, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The meringue was light and fluffy, and the pineapple filling was sweet and tangy.

This pie was a disappointment. The meringue was too soft and the pineapple filling was bland.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The meringue was perfectly browned and the pineapple filling was nice and juicy.

The flavors in this pie were amazing! The pineapple was perfectly sweet and tart, and the meringue was light and airy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This pineapple meringue pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the sweet pineapple filling and the fluffy meringue topping was divine. I'll definitely be making this pie again.
