Delightful Guam-style desserts: Baking up Pineapple Cream Pie

Well since we have been posting desserts, let me post one of my all time favorites....my mother's Pineapple Cream Pie.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pkg   9-inch Baked Pie Crust (Pillsbury Frozen Pie Crust or Betty Crocker) or make your own.
• 2 Cans 20oz. Crushed Pineapple w/heavy syrup, drained
• 2 Egg yolks
• 2 Cups milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tsp. salt
• 5 Tbls corn starch
• 2 Tbls butter
• 1 Tsp. vanilla

Directions:

• Prepare pie crust according to directions & set aside, allow to cool.
• Over medium heat combine the 2 egg yolks, milk, sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Stir constantly and bring to boil. Mixture will thicken rapidly. When thickened, remove from heat.
• Stir in butter, drained crushed pineapple and vanilla.
• Pour into cooled pie crust and let pie cool.
• Refrigerate until firm.

That's all there is to it. So simple.
