Pineapple Pie

I thought this sounded so interesting when I seen the recipe (can't remember where I found it though). Not only is it super easy to whip up, it is delicious! I made it for the guys in the field tonight (they're seeding wheat), and not an hour later a truck drove up on the yard asking 'if they're was possibly another piece of pie leftover?'
 

Pineapple Pie

9-inch pie crust, unbaked
3 eggs
1/3 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. pineapple juice (drained from the can)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 -20oz. can crushed pineapple, drained (save the juice)

Lightly beat the eggs, add in melted butter, pineapple and lemon juice and blend. Mix in the sugar, flour an salt and beat until smooth. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and pour mixture into the crust. Bake at 400 for ~40 minutes or until set.

See, easy peezy ;)

Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

I made these for our Mother's Day BBQ and there are so good (and rich ;)). My husband thought they tasted like Reese Pieces, and needless to say they were all gone within 24 hours!
 

Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

Brownies:
1 c. butter, melted
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
2/3 c. cocoa powder
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Peanut Butter Filling:
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
2 c. icing sugar
2-3 tsp. milk

Ganache Topping:
1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c. butter
2 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream

Add the sugar to the melted butter and beat in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in cocoa, salt and baking powder, then add the flour till just combined. Pour into greased and parchment lined 9 x 13 pan. (I greased a metal 9x13, then lined with parchment and greased that too, came out slick as ever) Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Then let cool before topping.
Beat peanut butter filling ingredients till smooth and top cooled brownies, then put in the fridge for about an hour until set. While the filling is setting combine the ganache ingredients in a saucepan and slowly melt together and combine. Pour/spread over the peanut butter filling and return to fridge to set.
