How to Make It

Alright, now that we’re all revved up, let’s talk pie! First things first, preheat that oven like it’s nobody’s business. We’re talking a warm hug for your pie, right? Then you’ll pull out your chilled pie crust. Yes, store-bought is fine; no judgement here. Into the pie pan it goes, slightly crimping the edges to look fancier than you feel.

Grab your pineapple (either freshly peeled or diligently drained from a can – your call), and watch that juicy magic happen as you build this sweet delight. Mix those pineapple delights into a gooey concoction of sugar, love, and maybe a squeeze of something citrusy (but not too much, okay? We’re chill here). Pour it into that crust and chuck it in the oven to transform into golden perfection. Seriously, that’s it.

Ingredient Notes

– Pineapple: Fresh is best, but canned works when you’ve hit snooze too many times.
– Sugar: Sweet and fabulous, trust me, but tweak it if you’re feeling subtle.
– Pie crust: Store-bought will do because even Martha Stewart needs a shortcut sometimes.

Recipe Steps:

1. Preheat your oven. Crank it to 350°F.
2. Toss your pie crust in a pie pan and get creative with the edges.
3. Combine pineapple, sugar, and whatever else calls to you today in a bowl.
4. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
5. Bake until golden and irresistible (about 45 minutes).

What to Serve It With

Top it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling particularly classic. Or go rogue and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Trust me; it balances out those flavors like a culinary yin-yang.

Tips & Mistakes

Use a pie shield or foil on the edges if they brown too fast. Forgetting this may end with an “edgy” pie that only Edgy Ed appreciates.

Storage Tips

Pop leftovers in the fridge. Reheat or dive in cold—just know that a morning slice with coffee means you’ve officially made pie a breakfast food. No shame, just deliciousness.

Variations and Substitutions

Got no sugar? Honey or maple syrup to the rescue! No judgment if you skip that dash of vanilla by accident while daydreaming. It happens. Just roll with it and declare it artistic improvisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
