Make the Pie Filling:

  • In a medium saucepan, use a hand-held electric mixer to cream together sugar, butter, and egg yolks.
  • Blend in cornstarch and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the water and crushed pineapple (with its juice), then mix again to combine.
  • Transfer the saucepan to the stove and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  • Pour the thickened filling into a pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.

Make the Meringue:

  • In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foamy.
  • Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue to whip until soft peaks form and the meringue is smooth and glossy.

Assemble and Bake the Pie:

  • Spread the meringue evenly over the cooled pie filling.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 400°F for a few minutes, just until the meringue is lightly browned.

Store:

  • Allow the pie to cool, then refrigerate before serving. Enjoy!
