Pineapple pie
Description
You can use either fresh pineapple rings or canned for this recipe. In the second case, you can safely replace the pineapple juice with syrup from the jar. For a brighter flavor I also add walnuts, but cranberries or cherries can easily take their place. A juicy, tasty, and easy-to-make bake for the whole family. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 2
In a frying pan or saucepan, melt the butter, add the sugar, and stir. Arrange the pineapple rings and cook over low heat for a couple of minutes. For the pie, use a round pan 27–30 cm in diameter. My pan is 20 cm in diameter, so I’ll make two pies, dividing the ingredients. Place the pineapple with syrup on the bottom. Add nuts or berries.

Step 8
The pineapple pie is ready. Let it cool in the pan for a little while so it releases from the sides, then cover with a plate and turn it upside down.

On top you will get a crispy crust hiding juicy pineapple underneath. Serve the baked good warm — the pie can be topped with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
