I've made this pie many times for friends, relatives, guests, church suppers and bazaars, and I'm always getting requests for the recipe. I've lived on farms all my lifewe used to have a potato farm on Long Island, and now my son farms his own land and manages mine here in Delaware, growing soybeans and wheat. I belong to Homemakers and enjoy tailoring and crafts. Ingredients:
pineapple layer: |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice |
cream cheese layer: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened to room temperature |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 9-inch unbaked pie shell |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, cornstarch and pineapple plus juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick and clear. Cool; set aside.
2. Blend cream cheese, sugar and salt in mixer bowl. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Blend in milk and vanilla. (If mixture looks slightly curdled, don't worry-it bakes out.)
3. Spread cooled pineapple layer over bottom of pie shell. Pour cream cheese mixture over pineapple; sprinkle with pecans.
4. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 325° and bake for 50 minutes. Cool. Yield: 8 servings.
