Ok, I confess, I have a sweet tooth (my dentist loves me) and dessert is my favorite part of the meal.

This has to be the most decadent and the richest pie I ever make and the easiest ever, throw a couple of cans in the crock pot and in 8 hours what emerges from those cans is truly magic!

This is copycat recipe for a Caramel Pie you can find at a famous restaurant chain that starts with an O’

Magic Caramel Pie

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 graham cracker pie crust

Instructions:

  • Remove the label from the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Place both cans in a crock pot and cover completely with water.
  • Cook in the cans on low for 8 hours.
  • Remove from the crock pot and cool.
  • Open cans and pour out into the graham cracker pie crust.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Garnish with whipped topping and slivered almonds, chopped nuts, whatever you like.

Notes

Rich....this pie is very rich. A small slice will do you.

Throw in an extra can and you have caramel dip for apples or a topping for ice cream!

*This makes a pie filling that is about the consistency of pudding it does not make a caramel that can be sliced individually or used for caramel apples.

No Crust Coconut Pie

I love to bake but I don't bake pies very often, but this one is easy just mix it up pour and bake. No crust to mix up or bake beforehand and everyone loves it. Let me tell you a funny story. My aunt who is 13 years older than my mom found this recipe years ago, clipped it and shared it with my mom. So we have eaten this pie for years at home and family dinners, sometime my aunt baked it, sometimes my mother.

You know in the South it is a requirement for the ladies of the church to be able to cook up some good food, churches often have covered dish dinners and the women are also called cook and take food to the church or to the families so they can have a relaxed dinner after a funeral and my mom is often called to bring dishes for these meals. She cooks many different things but she always takes this pie. She and her sister go to church together and her sister is older now and rarely cooks at all, my mom lives next door and cooks for the both of them.

Well, the new pastor loves this pie and has more than once from the pulpit raved about my mom's coconut pie. He also has left orders for whoever is in the church kitchen to save him a slice or two before it goes out to be served. So there is a bit of sisterly jealousy going on here~ her sister found the recipe and shared it with my mom and now my mom is getting the praise for baking it and my aunt makes sure the pastor knows she found the recipe first. Kind of like what came first the chicken or the egg and a tug of war of who gets credit for the pie the pastor ate that day.

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup self rising flour
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups of sugar

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine ingredients one at a time in the order listed.
  • Mixing well between each ingredient.
  • Pour into a glass pie dish and bake for 10 minutes at 350, the decrease temperature to 325 and bake for another 35-50 minutes, Until the top is golden brown.

Notes

Enjoy! This is a wonderful custurdy coconut pie. And you don't have to worry about making a crust, it makes it's own.

I I don't have a glass pie dish but I have a Pampered Chef stone one, mine didn't seem to 'set up' like my mom's does so I would recommend using a glass baking dish.
