Pineapple Coconut Pie
MY DAUGHTER introduced me to several recipes that are low in sugar after I found out I have diabetes. This was one of them, and it's become one of my favorite desserts.
I enjoy making this pie and baking other treats for my daughters, 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
