Filipino Pineapple pie Bakery style.

This recipe is requested by one of my youtube viewers. The original recipe is only called for Tang pineapple but I did not follow all the recipe. I made some changes on it. When i use to lived in the Philippines, I always saw this in my local bakeshop but never liked the taste on it. No wonder it doesn't taste good because there is no real pineapple on it.  It just has water, tang pineapple, and cornstarch. This one taste way better.
