Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple! Just ensure it's finely chopped and drain any excess juice before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help maintain the pie's texture and flavor balance.
How long can I freeze the pie?
The Easy Pineapple Pie can be frozen for up to two months. Make sure it's well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to eat it, simply thaw in the fridge for several hours or overnight for the best taste and texture.
What can I use instead of Eagle Brand milk?
If you need a substitute for Eagle Brand milk, you can use sweetened condensed milk as a 1:1 replacement. Alternatively, for a lighter version, mix equal parts evaporated milk and sugar, heating slightly to dissolve the sugar before using it in the recipe.
