Pineapple Pie

I have made a few different recipes for this and this one has the best flavor and is easy

INGREDIENTS
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon white sugar

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, pineapple with juice, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, then allow to boil 1 minute.

3. Cool slightly and pour mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with top crust and seal. Make a few steam vents in crust, then brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Place in preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature
