🔥 Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trim the edges, and set aside.
2. Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine apples, pineapple, both sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt.
Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow juices to form.
3. Assemble the Pie:
Pour the fruit filling into the pie crust.
Slightly press down to remove air pockets and spread evenly.
4. Prepare the Topping:
In a bowl, combine torn Hawaiian bread, melted butter, brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon.
Mix until the bread is well-coated and slightly sticky.
5. Top the Pie:
Spoon the buttery Hawaiian bread mixture evenly over the fruit filling, gently pressing it into place.
6. Bake:
Place pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips).
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the bread topping is golden brown.
> 🔄 Optional: Cover edges with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning.
7. Cool & Serve:
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes so the filling can set.
Serve warm or chilled, with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of coconut cream.

🌟 Tips:
Add a splash of dark rum or coconut extract to the filling for a tropical twist.
Want more texture? Sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts or toasted coconut on top of the bread layer before baking.
