Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix sugar and flour together.
- Add oleo (butter) and beat in the beaten eggs, pineapple, and coconut until well combined.

- Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened coconut instead of sweetened. If you want a lighter version, substitute half of the sugar with a sugar substitute. Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing. Be careful not to overbake after lowering the oven temperature to avoid a dry pie. This pie is great served warm or chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Coconut Supreme Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Ferne Plumlee'S Fancy Apple Pie for a delightful dessert spread. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a light salad or a bowl of fresh fruit.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Avoid reheating the entire pie, as it may become dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but make sure to finely chop it and drain any excess juice to maintain the pie's texture. Fresh pineapple will add a vibrant flavor to the filling.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can replace the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. This ensures the pie remains delicious while accommodating gluten sensitivities.
What kind of pie crust works best?
A traditional flaky pie crust works wonderfully, but for a quicker option, a pre-made graham cracker crust can add a nice flavor twist. Adjust baking times slightly if using a different crust.
