Preparation

Step 1

There is a wonderful chocolate chip walnut pie that was created at the Melrose Inn in Prospect, KY and is always associated with the Kentucky Derby. That pie is called 'Derby Pie' and the recipe is a protected secret. The name has also been trademarked so you can't call another recipe by that name. I have my own twist on a chocolate chip walnut pie. I add coconut to mine and it is called Dixie Girl Pie. It's so easy to make but, the results are absolutely sinful and people will think you are an amazing baker. So here is all you will need.
Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and eggs and mix well. Add bourbon, vanilla, chocolate chips, coconut and walnuts and stir gently.

Pour into the pie shell and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
