I used a very ripe pineapple and no sugar. Baked an extra 10 or 15 minutes...turned out very good.

Everyone was impressed at how good this pie is! Not hard to make either! This will certainly be a regular for family gatherings! ;-) Delicious! I added the butter in the pie mixture before cooking... It wasn't mentioned what to do with it in the recipe...
