Paulette Schwertley provided us with a fun recipe for Dried Apple Pie:
"I recently purchased 5 pounds of your Bella Viva dried pineapple rings. I had no idea of how many of them I'd get! I wasn't sure what do to with so many of them, and my husband suggested I make a dried pineapple pie. I couldn't find a recipe for a dried pineapple pie. So I adapted one I had used previously that was for dried apricots. We thought it was very good! (This recipe could actually be used with any dried fruit, I suppose.)" Paulette
- 4 cups Bella Viva Dried Pineapple Rings
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
- ½ cup melted butter, cooled\
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Crusts for a double-crust pie
1. Place pineapple rings in a large saucepan and cover with water to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Drain and cool 15 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400°.
3. Combine egg and egg yolk, brown sugar, walnuts, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
4. Chop pineapple rings so they are so larger than ¼ of each ring. Stir into above mixture.
5. Line pie plate with ½ of the crust and pour in filling. Top with second ½ of the crust. Seal and flute edges. Cut vent holes in top crust.
6. Bake for one hour. (May cover edges with foil until the last 15 minutes.) Cool at least one hour before serving.
"We thought this was really yummy! Hope you like it, too."
