Note

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too liquid.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker pie shells.

The lemon juice adds a bright contrast to the sweetness; adjust to taste if preferred less tart.

Pecans can be substituted with walnuts or omitted for a nut-free version.

Store leftover dessert in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

For best texture, chill the pie shells briefly before filling if they are prone to softening.
