Happy Pi Day!
In honor of one of our favorite math days, we will be celebrating as usual with a lovely slice of pie! One of our favorites is Pineapple Pie — I know, I know — I had never eaten (or even heard of) pineapple pie either until about 17 years ago when my husband first baked one. He found the recipe in a fantastic cookbook I gave him for Christmas one year & it’s been a favorite of ours ever since.
The filling is so good, it is tempting to eat the whole thing with a spoon before it even makes it into the pie shell. The sweetness is wonderfully balanced with just a hint of tang from the pineapple. Perfect for spring or summertime, it’s also quite the treat during autumn or winter when you’re feeling the urge for a tropical getaway…even if it’s just of the culinary variety.
What are some of your favorite springtime pies? Do you prefer fruit pies this time of year or more of a custard or cream type?
Happy Baking & Happy Pi Day!

Oh, this sounds so great! I love pineapple in dessert, but can’t ever say I have had it in a pie, yum!
I made a pineapple, strawberry, and coconut pie last year and everyone thought the idea of it was a little weird, but it tasted (and smelled) so good! Mine had a crumble topping, I like the idea of a regular crust here, thanks for sharing!
Haven’t tried pineapple with the strawberries & coconut, Justine! Fun concept! Hope you give this version of the pineapple pie a try!
