Our two favorite pies are these Coconut Pie and Pecan Pies. I am sure you will say the same once you tasted it.

These recipes have been in my family for years. The pecan pie recipe is from my grandmother. The coconut pie recipe is one I developed years ago. Both recipes are set up for regular pie crusts or pie tart shells I buy from the local grocery.

Description

These recipes have been in my family for years. The coconut pie recipe is one I developed years ago. You can use the regular pie crusts or pie tart shells bought from your local grocery store.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 14-ounce bag of sweetened coconut
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 stick of butter, melted ( A stick of butter is 8 tablespoons)
  • 112 ounces can evaporate milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 small pie crusts or 1820 small pie tart shells.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F / 180C degrees
  2. Mix all ingredients then add coconut.
  3. Pour evenly into the small pie crusts or into the pie tart shells.
  4. If using pie tart shells stir the mixture as you fill the tarts because the coconut wants to sink to the bottom.

  6. For the tarts 20 minutes or again till set in the middle and slightly browned.

Our two favorite pies are pecan and coconut. These recipes have been in my family for years. The pecan pie recipe is from my grandmother. The coconut pie recipe is one I developed years ago. Both recipes are set up for regular pie crusts or pie tart shells I buy from local grocery


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, whole if baking regular pie shell and
  • chopped for pie tarts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell or 16 pie tart shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F / 230C degrees
  2. Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer, add everything but pecans and beat till mixed well.
  3. Stir in pecans and stir with a spoon.
  4. Pour mixture into deep dish pie shell.
  5. If using the pie tart shells keep stirring the mixture as you fill the shells because pecans want to sink to the bottom.
  6. Bake pie at 450F / 230C for 10 minutes, if using pie tarts bake for 7 minutes.
  7. Reduce oven to 350F / 180C degrees and continue to bake the pie for 35-45 minutes until the middle is set.
  8. If the crust is getting too dark lay foil on top.
  9. For the pie tarts continue baking at 350F / 180C for 25-30 minutes until the middle is set.
  10. Again if the crust is too dark lay foil over top.
  11. Because ovens are different I would start watching the pie tarts at 18 minutes.
  12. Don’t get excited when your pecan pie sinks after cooking.
  13. This is normal.
