Steps:

Cook pie crust according to package directions. (I used a Pillsbury frozen crust for this recipe) and set aside. Mix sugar, cornstarch, pineapple with juice, sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla, coconut and egg yolks together and cook on top of the stove until bubbles and thickens stirring constantly. This will burn easy so keep stirring. Turn heat down or remove from heat if starts to stick. I let mine cook about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in walnut pieces. Pour into pie shell.
