I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out a complete disaster. The crust was burnt, and the filling was curdled.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too dry, and the filling was a little runny.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I also added some chopped walnuts to the crust, which gave it a nice crunch.
