Pineapple Pie

Ingredients

• 1 Double Crust Pie Recipe
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, pineapple with juice, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, then allow to boil 1 minute.
3. Cool slightly and pour mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with top crust and seal. Make a few steam vents in crust, then brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Place in preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature. 

Crust:

• 1 1/2 Cups Flour
• 3/4 Cup Shortening
• 1/4 Cup of water

1.  Lightely mix the shortening and flour together, it's good to have chunks and it not be smooth. That's what makes it flakey. 
2. Very gently add the water and toss it through the dough, use more or less depending on dryness of crust. Roll out and use.
