June L. McVey - Lincoln, Nebraska
Bake-Off® Contest 3, 1951
In the 1950s, when pie often was served as an everyday dessert, homemakers welcomed new recipes that would impress family or friends. This two-layer pineapple pie topped with a brown sugar-pecan layer still makes a big hit.


   1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)
   
   FILLING
   2 tablespoons cornstarch
   2 tablespoons sugar
   Dash salt
   1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup, undrained*
   1 tablespoon lemon juice
   1 tablespoon margarine or butter
   
   TOPPING
   1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
   2 tablespoons margarine or butter
   1 tablespoon corn syrup
   1/2 cup chopped pecans


Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 9-inch pie pan.

Heat oven to 425°F. In medium saucepan, combine cornstarch, sugar and salt; mix well. Stir in pineapple. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and 1 tablespoon margarine. Pour into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edges and flute. Cut slits in top crust. Bake at 425°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in small heavy saucepan, combine all topping ingredients. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove pie from oven.

Spoon and spread warm topping mixture evenly over top of pie. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake at 425°F. for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown.

*TIP: One (20-oz.) can crushed pineapple in unsweetened juice, undrained, can be substituted for crushed pineapple in heavy syrup.
