How to Make Fresh Pineapple Pie
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the pineapple: Twist off the crown, cut into quarters, remove the core, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Set aside (approximately 4 cups).
- Make the glaze: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water until smooth. Stir in yellow food coloring, if desired.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the pineapple chunks. Let cool completely.
- Prepare the nut crust: While the filling cools, prepare the crust. Roughly chop 1 cup walnuts. Spread on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- In a blender or food processor, pulse 8-10 vanilla wafers until you have 3/4 cup of fine crumbs.
- Combine the toasted walnuts, vanilla wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter in a bowl. Mix well.
- Press the nut mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie plate.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the pie crust and filling are completely cool, spoon the pineapple filling into the cooled crust.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the fruit.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight for optimal flavor and setting. Serve chilled and enjoy!
