How to Make Dream Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, 1 (15 ounce) can cherry pie filling, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of dry lemon jello.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
  5. Gently fold in 2 ripe bananas, sliced, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Top with 8 ounces of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
