CREAM CHEESE PINEAPPLE PIE 
1/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice

CREAM CHEESE LAYER:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, soften to room temperature
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
1/4 c. chopped pecans

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and pineapple plus juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and clear. Cool. Set aside.

Blend cream cheese, sugar, and salt in mixer bowl. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Blend in milk and vanilla (if mixture looks slightly curdled, don't worry - it bakes out). Spread cooled pineapple layer over bottom of pie shell. Pour cream cheese mixture over pineapple; sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 50 minutes. Cool.

Awesome! Very easy to make. Unfortunately, I used diced pineapple rings insted of crushed. It created a few air pockets in between the cream cheese. I did not have pecan or any other type of nut to top it with and baked it as is. Came out great.

I love this pie. I make it at Christmas and decorate it with red and green cherries to look like flowers. I never really liked cheesecake that much, but I really like this pie.
