Preparation

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F.

Using a spatula, gently fold in the pecans, pineapple and coconut.

Stir in the melted butter and mix well.

Bake an unbaked pie shell for approximately 50 to 60 minutes in the oven.

Cover the crust edge with strips of aluminum foils to keep the edges from browning too fast.

Meanwhile, toast the coconut flakes in a pan under low heat until it becomes fragrant.

Sprinkled on toasted coconut on top of the pie.
