Pecan pie is a family favorite throughout the year, but it’s especially nice during the holidays. It’s a Thanksgiving and Christmas staple, but every once in a while we like to switch it up a little bit, tweaking things here and there, so that we get a unique dessert that breathes new life into a classic, and that offers a little surprise to our hungry friends and family. Here we took an “island” approach and added coconut and pineapple to our pie – it was so good, you have to try it!
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
