Transport your taste buds to the heart of Southern indulgence with this irresistibly simple Sawdust Pie recipe. A delightful medley of graham cracker crumbs, sweetened shredded coconut, and crunchy chopped pecans creates a rich, nutty filling that's both rustic and decadent. Bound together with lightly beaten egg whites and baked to golden perfection in a flaky, unbaked pie crust, this dessert boasts a beautifully crisp top with a luxuriously chewy interior. Best served warm, it's crowned with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate finishing touch. With just 10 minutes of prep time and a short bake, this nostalgia-filled treat is perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or anytime you crave a unique, comforting dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and granulated sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until foamy. Do not beat to stiff peaks; they should just be foamy.
Add the foamy egg whites to the dry mixture and stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is moist.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan if not already in one. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
