by Febrina Picone Malloy

Ingredients:
pie dough for 9" pie, and lattice crust for top
2 cups unsweetened crushed pineapple, undrained (even better with pineapple chunks)
2 TB tapioca (if using pineapple chunks add 1 tsp more tapioca)
3/4 cup (scant) sugar (if using pineapple in syrup, use 1/3 cup sugar)
dash salt
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 TB apricot jam or enough to spread thinly on crust before filling
butter

Directions:
1. Combine pineapple, tapioca, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Allow mixture to sit while rolling out pie dough and lining pie pan (at least 5 minutes).
2. Spread jam thinly on pie crust. Pour in pineapple mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with lattice top crust.
3. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes, then lower to 400° or 350° for about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
drained pineapple slices
walnut pieces
maraschino cherries, or glaceed (optional)
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar

3 TB evaporated or regular milk
3 TB juice from pineapple slices
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sifted cake or regular flour

Directions:
1. Prepare pan, using 10 inch pie plate or similar, such as 10 inch oven-proof skillet or 9 inch square pan.
2. Measure butter or margarine into pan and put in 350° oven to melt. Sprinkle light brown sugar over melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices and walnut pieces on this. I like 1/2 slices in spiral, roughly 1 piece on each serving. I add cherries only when appearance is important.
3. In mixing bowl, blend shortening, sugar and egg.
4. Sift dry ingredients together.
5. Beat in alternately with combined liquids.
6. Pour over prepared topping and bake at 350° for about 45 minutes or until toothpick tests done (do not touch bottom of pan with toothpick).
7. Immediately put large serving dish over pan and turn upside down. Leave a few minutes, then remove pan.
