SAWDUST PIE
1 1/2 cups ground pecans
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
7 egg whites
1 pie shell, unbaked
Whipped cream
Caramel sauce - can use purchased
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine pecans, sugar, graham cracker crumbs and coconut. Stir in unbeaten egg whites. Pour into pie shell and bake for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Serve with real whipped cream and caramel sauce.
CARAMEL SAUCE
2 T butter
2 T all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half and half
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp caramel flavoring (I use Watkins brand caramel flavoring)
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Add half and half; stir until thickened. Stir in brown and granulated sugars and continue to cook, stirring. Remove from heat just before it comes to a boil. Stir in flavoring. Let cool (mixture will thicken).
Yield: 2 1/3 cups.
