Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top. The center should be firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Top with whipped cream or maraschino cherries before serving, if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add a little more sugar to taste.
Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess liquid in the filling.
This pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a twist, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
