Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough into the pie dish and trim any excess. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers to create a decorative border.
5. In a saucepan, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the tablespoon of butter until melted and well combined.
7. Pour the pineapple filling into the prepared pie crust.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
10. Enjoy this delicious Pineapple Pie as-is or topped with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence!
