Don't worry over graham cracker crumbs if you have graham crackers on hand, just put some in a plastic bag and crush them yourself and they'll be fine. Likewise with the pecans, which the original recipe called for. Goodness, have you looked at the price of pecans lately? I have a tendency to leave nuts out of anything I can but during the holidays I try to splurge and buy them. Still, walnuts are half the price of pecans and so that's what I've been baking with. Since this recipe is pretty sacred to my mom. I to ask how she would feel about eating it with walnuts versus pecans and she was pretty dern happy.

SAWDUST PIE



Sawdust Pie image

This recipe has one of the most un-pie pie fillings you'll ever come across. There's nothing moist or juicy about it, and the name itself could very well scare you off, but somehow it all comes together. If you can imagine something like a coarse graham cracker-coconut cake, that would begin to describe it. You have to try this one to appreciate it. It begs for ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Yield Makes 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Old-Fashioned Shortening Pie Dough or another single-crust dough
7 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1½ cups sweetened flaked coconut
1½ cups finely chopped pecans
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vanilla or butter pecan ice cream, for serving
Caramel sauce, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare and refrigerate the pie dough. Roll the dough into a 12½- to 13-inch circle and line a 9- to 9½-inch deep-dish pie pan with it, shaping the edge into an upstanding ridge. Flute or crimp the edge, then refrigerate the shell until needed.
  • Whisk the egg whites, sugars, and vanilla in a bowl until evenly mixed. Add the graham cracker crumbs, coconut, pecans, and salt. Stir briefly, then add the butter and stir just until the filling is evenly mixed. Don't overmix.
  • Turn the filling into the pie shell and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon. Bake on the center oven rack for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is crusty and has risen, rotating the pie midway through the baking. It's fine if the pie develops cracks here and there.
  • Transfer the pie to a rack and cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnishing slices lavishly with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
  • Recipe for Success:
  • Chop the nuts by hand, not in the food processor, for the best texture. (The food processor can make them too fine if you're not careful.)
  • Don't overmix the filling. The more you work it, the stiffer and less spreadable the filling becomes.
  • You'll have a lot of egg yolks left over with this pie. Consider making crème brûlée or custard with them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your pie is as delicious as possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Don't overcook the pie. Overcooking will make the filling dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Angus Barn's Sawdust Pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of sweet and tart apples, creamy custard, and flaky crust is irresistible. If you're looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, I highly recommend this recipe.
