EGGLESS PINEAPPLE CUSTARD PIE.

A delicious eggless pineapple custard pie preapared without shortcrust pastry.Instead of using shortcrust pastry for the pie crust, using biscuits is a short cut method.
I tried this pie with rusks instead of biscuits and thick brown rice flakes instead of oats for the pie crust.It came out nicely with crispy brown crust and tastes heavenly.If you are going to try with oats and biscuits take the same quantity as that of rusk and aval / thick rice flakes.
