How to Make a Delicious Pineapple Dessert Pie

When it comes to making homemade dessert pies, do not have to slave for hours making a recipe that is difficult and time consuming. This recipe was given to me 25 years ago my grandmother today, it is one of our favorites to make.

you can buy two pre-made pie shell or make your own pie crust using your favorite recipe. After the pie is completely cooled to room temperature, you will want to store in the refrigerator.

When it comes to serving, I recommend the vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt or whipped topping. If you prefer, you can put a couple of fresh cherries on top of your chosen topping right before serving.
