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.

Or, for a pineapple cheesecake, stir all of the filling ingredients together and spread over the batter of my Keto Cheesecake or this Vegan Cheesecake. Bake according to cheesecake directions.
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

Does anyone know can you substitute arrowroot or tapioca for the corn starch ?
We have never tried it. If you experiment, be sure to report back!
Hi! Wondering if this will freeze well? I would like to make ahead and freeze it!! Thanks!
Hmm sorry we have never tried it. Be sure to report back if you try!
Hi! I’m trying to stay away from starches. Any idea if I could get the same results using coconut flour instead of corn starch?
We haven’t tried it. Be sure to report back if you experiment!
I tried coconut flour last week and it didn’t do badly, but not like the stach did (I used arrowroot).
Coconut flour behaves very differently from starches. It literally sucks up loads of liquid. You may be able to use coconut flour, but definitely not in. 1:1 ratio and it will definitely change the texture of the finished product. Might still be good though. pineapple and coconut are delicious together-pina colada pie. 😉
Rule of thumb is to only replace normal flour with 1/3 of coconut flour, never the whole amount.
Used canned pineapple, arrowroot starch, and date sugar. Firmed up beautifully!!
Thank you so much for trying it!
Made this pie using arrowroot starch and monk fruit with erythritol and it was amazing Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you for trying it!
This is so incredibly simple and amazing! The only changes I made were to omit the salt and add in a teaspoon of vanilla. It’s perfect, and has earned a well deserved spot in my family’s favorites!
Thank you so much for trying the recipe 🙂
Love that this does not have eggs or butter. I will try this and will also try a coconut version without the pineapple. Looks so easy. Thank you!
How do you use the cream cheese do you beat up before adding it?
I going to make this now but not sure how you added the cream cheese
Would this work with other canned fruit (like cherries, or pears or peaches if crushed, etc?)
