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.

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

Easy Pie Recipes
Or this Vegan Pumpkin Pie
I will definitely make the pineapple pie this weekend, using Nasoya vegan wonton wrappers as a crust (easy hack I discovered). We make crushed pineapple and I am confident that it will turn out fine:) Also, yesterday I made your vegan Levain cookies and my skeptical grandparents proclaimed them to be “the best chocolate chip cookie ever”. They’re NOT used to healthy desserts, and Grandma is the “Christmas cookie queen”, so that’s a real compliment. Your site has helped me on my journey to eat whole foods and delicious desserts every day!!
I only made the filling part of this for a coconut cake..and it was FABULOUS!!!
What am I missing here…what is vegan pineapple? Is the meat removed or something? That’s just wierd. Next time I’m at the grocery store I’ma look for vegan pineapple.
Sorry we are confused, what do you mean by vegan pineapple? The ingredient list just calls for pineapple.
Vegans won’t eat dairy because it comes from a cow. Also won’t eat eggs because they come from a chicken. They eat vegan cashew cheese.
The pie recipe is vegan, not just the pineapple it isn’t a VEGAN-PINEAPPLE pie, it’s a vegan PINEAPPLE PIE.
Do you drain the canned pineapple first or add it as-is with the juice?
Just add the whole can!
Delicious!
Can you use fresh pineapple and coconut sugar instead?
Absolutely! Just make sure you crush the pineapple first so it’s reminiscent of canned crushed pineapple in texture.
I crushed fresh pineapple and made the pie. The filling tasted wonderful, but after it cooked the pineapple became so bitter that we had to throw it out. Not sure I would recommend fresh pineapple.
How to make the crust if not buying it?
I did it with the cream cheese and its baking now. Was in 35 min but center still doesn’t look set. Should I bake longer? Or will it set up while it cools?
Hi! It sets while it cools 🙂
This pie was so delicious and set up perfectly!
Do you bake the crust first
No need if you’re baking the filling 🙂
