The name is right ... this pineapple coconut pie is dang good! It reminds us of a creamy pina colada. In each bite, you taste little bits of coconut and pineapple. It's super easy to make too. Just delightful!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup ice water, approximately
3 pounds apples, preferably Northern Spy or Rhode Island Greenings (see note)
1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar, depending on tartness of apples used
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Lemon juice, optional
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, plus butter to grease pie plate

Steps:

Cut butter into pieces. Add flour and vanilla. Work with fingers until dough resembles coarse cornmeal. Handle as little as possible. Add water. Push dough into a ball. Flour lightly. Wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
Remove dough from refrigerator. Peel, core, quarter apples, then slice into eighths. Divide dough in half. Roll one half between lightly floured pieces of waxed paper. (You may have to flour dough so it doesn't stick.) Roll into circular shape. Repeat with second half.
Grease 9-inch pie plate.. Set dough round on plate. Let it drape over edge.
Add sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice to taste to the apples. Mound apples in center of pie plate. Dot with butter. Place second piece of pastry on top. Roll edges of dough together and crimp with knife handle.
Cut hole in center to vent steam. Prick top with fork. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, bake from 20 to 35 minutes longer.
