Instructions: Prepare and roll out pie crust. Line the unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of foil and bake in a 450 oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake 4 - 6 minutes more or till pastry is golden. Remove from oven and reduce oven temp to 375.
Meanwhile in a medium bowl gently toss together bananas, pineapple juice, and lemon juice. Drain reserving juices. Gently toss bananas with lemon peel, granulated sugar, and the 1/2 teas of cinnamon. Turn the mixture into the pastry shell. In a small pan combine the reserved juices and cornstarch. Cook and stir over medium heat untill thickened and bubbly. Pour over banana mixture in shell.
