How to Make Pineapple Sour Cream And Meringue Pie

  1. **Make the Filling:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Stir in 2 cups crushed pineapple (canned, drained), 1 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  5. **Temper the Eggs:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot filling mixture to temper the yolks.
  6. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining filling. Cook and stir constantly for 2 minutes over medium heat until thickened.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. (This is crucial for preventing a runny pie).
  8. **Prepare the Crust:** Use your favorite 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
  9. Pour the cooled filling into the pie crust.
  10. **Make the Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat briefly to combine.
  13. Spread the meringue evenly over the cooled filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  14. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and firm.
  15. Let cool completely before serving. Best served chilled!
