Coconut Pie from North Carolina

By

Posted on September 27, 2008 by Marilynn and Sheila
This recipe came from The Pie Lady from North Carolina who was active in her church and who specialized in truly Southern cakes and pies. This is one of the simplest recipes for a delicious dessert we’ve tried. We will not judge you if you use a premade pie crust, but you may find you have a bit of filling leftover.
YIELD: 8 SERVINGS
The recipe for Sheila’s Sweet Pie Crust appears on page 248, in Heirloom Cooking.
