Club Baked: Sawdust Pie

This round of Club: Baked was selected by Tessa over at The Cookin' Chemist, and she picked Sawdust Pie.  I had never heard of Sawdust Pie before, but it's basically a Pecan Pie with the addition of coconut and white chocolate.

I decided to throw this together for a last minute BBQ we had last weekend.  I had everything on hand, and to make it even easier for me, I used a refrigerated pie crust so that all I had to do was fill it and bake it......easy peasy!!  This is a one bowl dessert.....once you get all the main ingredients in, just add in the egg whites and mix till it's all combined.  It looked a little strange to me....but those Baked guys haven't let me down yet, so I went with it.  I'm glad I did, because it came out beautiful!  It smelled wonderful...definitely like a pecan pie, but with that extra little something from the coconut and white chocolate.

The pieces held up beautifully when the pie was cut.......no oozing apart like pecan pies sometimes do.  The recipe says to top with either whipped cream or banana slices.  We did whipped cream, since that is one of my favorite things on the planet.  This pie was a hit with everyone!


For the recipe, go to The Cookin' Chemist, and check out Club: Baked for the other bakers' results......Enjoy!!

  2. Looks delish! I did the whipped cream, but omitted the bananas, too. I liked this better than regular pecan pie. It seemed less syrupy and sweet.

  3. Your pie really looks nice. I did the same also, topping it with whipped cream, but not bananas. I also added chocolate! See you next time!

  5. I've never eaten a Sawdust Pie. The name sounds dry, but your description and the ingredients sound fantastic. I think I'll be making one sometime before Thanksgiving to see if it can make it to our holiday table. Thank you for linking this one to Joy of Desserts.

  6. Thanks for cluing me into another great recipe I have to try! I have that book, and for some reason this pie recipe never stood out to me. I'll definitely make a note of it now, though! Also, I love that pie pan!

  15. This sounds too yummy. I might have to save it until next May as we are just coming into summer in Australia. It is great way to make apples too yummy and delicious.
