SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Allow the pie to stand for 15 minutes before baking to allow the sugar to melt.

MAMAW PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bake your pie shells according to package directions and let them cool completely.
• While your pie shells are baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium and add the pecans and coconut. Toast your coconut and pecans in the butter until they become golden brown (roughly 10 minutes). Keep stirring constantly -- these can scorch easily. Set them aside to let them cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until creamy. Fold in your whipped topping by hand -- be careful not to "break it down" too much, but still get it incorporated nicely (it's such a fine line, isn't it?).
• Have your baked and cooled pie shells ready to fill -- it's time to start layering!
• Start by using 1/2 of your cream cheese mixture and divide that evenly between the two pie shells (so, technically, each pie will get 1/4 of the mixture).
• Drizzle 1/4 of your caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture on each pie, use 1/4 per pie and 1/2 the jar total for this layer.
• Sprinkle 1/4 of the pecan/coconut mixture over the caramel on each pie. Again, use 1/2 of the mixture total.
• Repeat the layers, using the remaining ingredients. Place pies in the freezer overnight.
• You'll pull them out about about 20-30 minutes before serving to let them thaw a bit. You can store them in your freezer for about a month. I double wrap mine in Press-N-Seal and then add an additional layer of foil on top of that, to prevent any freezer burn.

MAW MAW'S OATMEAL CAKE

• Preheat oven to 350°F.

• Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; add to sugar mixture.
• Add oatmeal and mix well.
• Pour batter into a 9X13-inch greased cake pan.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until cake tests done.
• For topping, combine all topping ingredients.
• Prick holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick or ice pick.
• Spread icing over the top of warm cake.
• Place cake under the broiler for just a minute or two until topping starts to brown.
• (My oven browns quickly and only takes 1-2 minutes, so watch closely!).
