I wouldn't I don't think the sugar on the nuts will affect the baking at all or the flavor much.

Thanks - I went ahead with the recipe as written. It's in the oven now. Talk about a simple pie!!!

I already copied and saved

We just had this pie. All I can say is DO NOT even think about making this! I cannot think of another pie that is so so freakin' decadent, horrendously incredibly amazingly GOOD! It's German chocolate cake crossed with heaven!!!

Sharon! That's like throwing down the gauntlet...issuing a dare! Good thing I don't particularly care for coconut. If I don't tell William about it, I should be safe....LOL!

I don't either, but I'm finding there are some dishes I really do like with coconut. My tastes are mellowing, I guess.

[Gourmet_Mom]

I like the flavor, just not the texture. Although, it's been years since I tried anything with coconut in it....HMMMM? Oh goodness, I CAN'T be talking myself into this....NOOOOO!

[cjs]

Why not? I almost have....
