This is one of my best tasting pies yet! I love how the pineapple is so creamy -like custard and the meringue just sets it off. But the crust also makes it special. So all you pineapple lovers give this one a try and tell me what you think!

I'm not usually a fan of meringue pies, but this one is an exception. The custard is so smooth and creamy, and the meringue is perfectly toasted. I love the addition of pineapple, which adds a bit of tartness to balance out the sweetness.
