I like the soft tropical flavor of this Pineapple Pie! If only I could transport myself to a warm beach with every bite. Now that will be something!
Because I'm stuck here in the snow, this pie has to be done. Using a pre-made frozen crust to save time. The bottom layer is sweet pineapple followed by soft toppings such as cheese cake. Very good!
