Coconut Pie

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling YIELD: 8 servings.
Watching my mother cook from scratch, I hardly knew that anything was available "pre-made" until I'd left home. One of Mom's best desserts is her creamy old-fashioned coconut pie. A rich slice is true comfort food. —Mary McGuire, Graham, North Carolina
