Ingredients
- Flour - Flour is the base of the crust and the binder in the pie filling and helps it thicken.
- Salted butter - This is used to make the crust and the filling.
- Ice water - For the crust. Cold water helps the crust to come together.
- Sugar - Adds sweetness. Since pineapple is naturally sweet you don't need much added sugar.
- Eggs - Eggs help the filling to set into a creamy custard.
- Crushed pineapple - For that sweet pineapple flavor. We use canned pineapple to save on prep time. You can use fresh pineapple that has been finely chopped if you prefer.

How to Make Pie Crust
Making pie crust in the food processor takes less than a minute.
Step One: Add 1 ⅓ cup flour and ½ cup butter to the food processor. Pulse until the butter is cut into it.
Step Two: Drizzle the water in while the food processor is running. This will form the dough into a ball. Roll out the crust and place it into the pie pan.
How to Make 5 Ingredient Pineapple Pie
This mixes up quickly and easily in the food processor. You do not need to wash the bowl between making the crust and the filling.
Step One: Make the filling by mixing the sugar, butter, flour, and eggs in the food processor. Pulse until it is smooth.
Step Two: Pulse until it is smooth. It will be thick and creamy.
Step Three: Stir in the drained pineapple. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Step Four: Add the pie filling to the crust. Spread it out evenly.
Step Five: Bake the pie on the bottom rack of the oven for 45-40 minutes.
Step Six: Let cool and slice.
Top Tip
​If you want to use fresh pineapple for this recipe, you can. You just need to chop it into tiny pieces. You can make the pineapple pie filling with canned or fresh pineapple.
Substitutions
- Refrigerated pie crust - This easy dessert can be made using a prepared crust as well. This makes it a really simple dessert when you use a prepared pie shell.
Variations
- Fruit filling - The best part about this delicious treat is that you can use other canned fruit. Cherries, peaches - you name it!
- Coconut - Add some shredded coconut for a pina colada flavor like our Pina Colada Mocktail and Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes.
Equipment
For this recipe, I recommend having a food processor, rolling pin, pie plate, large bowl, and rubber spatula.
Storage
Did I mention that this easy recipe is perfect for leftovers? Once the pie has baked and cooled to room temperature, store any leftovers in an airtight container for later. You can cover it with plastic wrap or a lid and enjoy eating leftover pie for up to 2-3 days.
I don't recommend freezing this recipe as the crust can become soggy, and the ingredients of the filling can separate.
Common Questions
No, due to the ingredients, this pie needs to be baked. This is especially true since you're using a homemade crust, and the filling is made with flour and raw eggs.Â
I'm all about adding fun new toppings to create different recipes. Whipped cream is a great addition, but you can also drain the pineapple juice from a can of pineapple and have some bits of pineapple on top.Â
Don't forget that Cool Whip and maraschino cherries are a really yummy topping, too! Change up what you add to the top of the pie to change the flavor.Â
You can also top with a scoop of Pineapple Ice Cream for an over the top indulgence!
I would. It's really the only way that you can cut slices of this pie recipe and not have it fall apart. The crust holds the pineapple filling together so that the pieces of pie can be served.Â
However, you can bake it in a small casserole dish without the crust and serve as a spoon dessert.
Don't forget that you can vary the type of crust that you can use. Just be sure to bake the crust with the pie if you're using one that you need to bake.
