"I found this tropical custard pie in an old church cookbook in my collection," informs Judi Oudekerk of Buffalo, Minnesota. "When I sent one to the office with my husband, one of his co-workers said, 'It doesn't get any better than this.'"

Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour. Add the corn syrup, coconut, pineapple, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Pour into crust. Drizzle with butter.
  3. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cover pie loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack. Chill before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
Dough for single-crust pie
Combine 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp. salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3-5 Tbsp. ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
