This delicious and sweet homemade pineapple pie is absolutely one of the easiest desserts you will ever make!
With just 5 ingredients, it’s one of my favorite easy summer recipes.
One taste of the traditional pineapple pie filling and buttery flaky crust makes you feel like you’re lounging on a tropical Hawaiian beach.
Every time I serve this pie, there are never any leftovers!

How to make pineapple pie from scratch
The recipe is super easy to make at home.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 F, then simply stir all of the vegan pineapple pie filling ingredients together.
Smooth the fresh pineapple filling into any homemade or store-bought 9-inch pie crust or graham cracker crust, gluten free if needed.
Bake on the oven center rack for 35 minutes, let cool, slice, and serve.
Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days, or you can freeze the dessert in an airtight covered container to thaw at a later date.

Pineapple cream cheese pie variation
Simply stir 8 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese into the filling before baking.
You can also stir in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut if desired.
Or, for a pineapple cheesecake, stir all of the filling ingredients together and spread over the batter of my Keto Cheesecake or this Vegan Cheesecake. Bake according to cheesecake directions.
This fruit pie is amazing topped with Coconut Whipped Cream
According to google, people are most often searching for one of three different popular types of the fresh fruit pie.
Today’s recipe is closest to the internet version sometimes referred to as Johnny Cash’s mother’s pie. All you need is fresh or canned pineapple, regular or unrefined sugar (or erythritol for a low sugar pie), cornstarch, a pinch of salt to bring out the sweetness, optional shredded coconut, and a basic pie crust.
Hopefully someday I can also experiment to come up with a homemade recipe for Filipino pineapple pie or the ones McDonald’s apparently sells in Malaysia, because they both sound good too!
Leftover pineapple? Use it to make pineapple Overnight Oats or Chia Pudding
Fresh pineapples were on sale at the grocery store, so we bought two. We ate a lot of pineapple that week!

I asked this before but did not get a response. I accidentally bought crushed pineapple in syrup, how much sugar should I used since it will be too sweet.
Ed West says
What would happen if I cook the filling before putting it in the pie shell?
Fran says
We love this pie. I’ve made it so many times, and the only thing I’ve changed is the amount of sugar. I cut it in half, and it’s still sweet enough. I just made this pie over the weekend with fresh pineapple. The fresh pineapple was so sweet, I only used 1/8 cup of sugar. My husband thought the fresh pineapple had noticeably better flavor. Fresh or canned … you can’t miss with this pie. It’s great. It would be great to take to a pot luck or to an office get together.
Thanks for the great recipe, Katie!!

I had extra pie crust and canned pineapple (slices) so I looked for a recipe. I made it with the cream cheese and coconut added the first time and it was amazing. My husband loved it. I made it again for a gathering and this time I made two, one without coconut, for the non-coconut eaters. It was just as easy to make and bake, but the party is today so we haven’t tasted it yet. I have not tried it without the cream cheese because it’s just so good with it. This is definitely a new family recipe!
Hannah says
This pineapple pie recipe is delicious! I followed the recipe to a T and am very happy with the result.
Carrie says
Could I use this recipe for bake hand pies?
Shela says
Well, first thing, the picture made my OCD kick in because it is cut in 7 pieces not 8! LOL
I haven’t made it yet but sounds wonderful. However, I will HAVE to cut mine in 8 pieces. 😏😁
Tammie says
I haven’t made it, but it sounds realy good, especially with coconut added.
That said, when you’re experimenting with pineapple pie recipes, one that I have never found a recipe for, but had years ago from a store bakery, is pineapple upside down pie. It was incredible……so it’s just a suggestion for a possible future pie to try to create.
