A Piece of the Tropics Pie image

This pie is a tropical version of a pecan pie that I came up with. Everyone that tries it loves it! With the fruits and macadamia nuts it reminds me of something that would be served on a tropical island, and the addition of the maraschino cherries makes it even great to look at. DELICIOUS and I promise you won't be disappointed !!!

Time 4h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
½ cup chopped maraschino cherries
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a bowl, mix the pineapple with juice, sugar, corn syrup, and flour. One by one, mix in the coconut, macadamia nuts, cherries, eggs, and vanilla. Scoop the filling mixture into the crust. Drizzle the pie with the melted butter.
  • Bake loosely covered with foil for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. I like to sit my pie on a cookie sheet or something in case of spillage. Remove foil, and continue baking 30 minutes. Cool, and chill 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This pie was delicious, but it was a little too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a different crust next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed this pie. The flavors were well-balanced and the crust was flaky.
