This is a wonderful summertime pie, I have made this on many occasions, and always have had rave reviews, I usually prepare two of these for a weekend, this will go fast! A tip, make sure that the crushed pineapple is very well drained, or the pie will not hold up I always squeeze out any extra juice with my hands) - see my Kittencal's No-Fail Buttery Flaky Pie Pastry/Crust
