SAWDUST PIE. Well with a name like that…
So why is it called that and what’s in it? First off, it’s not actually made of sawdust, it’s just supposed to look like sawdust (although way back in the 1800s Mrs. Beeton had a recipe for making sugar from sawdust°).
SAWDUST PIE
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup sweetened coconut
7 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
pinch or two of cinnamon
sliced bananas
whipped cream
caramel sauce (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir well to combine.
Pour ingredients into an unbaked pie shell and smooth the top.
Bake on the top oven rack for 30-40 minutes. The edge should be barely brown and filling may still be a little “wet” – the pie will set up as it cools.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, and serve slightly warm or at room temperature topped with sliced bananas a mountain of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
