Fantastic Raisin-Coconut Pie

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is one of my favorite pie recipes, it's buttery fantastic, and the filling always bakes out perfectly, this recipe makes two pies, good thing cause you will be eating one yourself lol! You can use a frozen pie crust for this, but still prebake for 8 minutes. If you are a cinnamon-lover then use the 4 teaspoons. I promise, you will love this pie!!!! Prep time does not include making the pie crusts."

I made this pie for my 94 year old Aunt, she had told me that her mother made it when she was a child. It turned out great. I was not a prepared as I should of been as far as prep work. Next time I will be better organized before starting. It might add that is done when knife inserted comes out clean.
