Description

Brighten your table with this luscious Crushed Pineapple Sour Cream Pie! A creamy, tangy filling packed with tropical pineapple flavor sits inside a flaky pie crust, making every bite a refreshing treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the sour cream mixture into the pineapple mixture until fully combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading evenly.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the pie is golden brown on top.
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  8. Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid a watery filling.
  • Fresh pineapple can be used, but chop finely and taste-test for sweetness before adding sugar.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
