Pineapple Pie – Immaculate Bites

secret pineapple pie filling

For me, pies have always been about a spotless crust. Because the crust rules. But in this easy Pineapple His Pie recipe, the whole package shines. The fruity filling of pineapple, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and a hint of rum is surprisingly delicious.

What’s special about the super easy filling (apart from the pineapple goodness) is the splash of rum that’s ideal for the holiday spirit (or year-round). But don’t worry, the alcohol will evaporate as the pie bakes. Add a touch of lemon juice and zest for that citrusy kiss.😉
