  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Place second pie crust on piece of waxed paper. Using knife, mark lines on crust 3/4 inch apart for guides for cutting strips. Cut into strips along lines; set aside.
  • 2
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat pineapple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, tapioca, nutmeg and cinnamon to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; cool slightly. Cover bottom of crust in pie plate with pecans and coconut. Pour pineapple mixture in crust.
  • 3
    To make lattice-top crust, place half of the strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through center by first folding back every other strip going the other way. Continue weaving until lattice is complete, folding back alternate strips before adding each cross-strip. Trim, seal and flute edges. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 hour.
  • 4
    To make glaze, in small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and reserved pineapple juice. Drizzle over pie. Sprinkle with coconut.

  • Pecans can be toasted 8 to 10 minutes on ungreased small cookie sheet while oven preheats. Then coconut can be toasted 5 to 7 minutes on same cookie sheet after removing pecans.
  • To save time making lattice-top crust, do not weave strips. Simply place second half of strips across first strips.
