  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pie Plate: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie plate to prevent sticking and set it aside for the filling.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and kosher salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the dry components.

  5. Fold in Coconut: Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut evenly into the batter, distributing the coconut throughout the mixture.
  6. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the pie is set.
