Grandma Red’s Pecan Pie

This is not your traditional pecan pie.

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • cups chopped pecans
  • 11 whole graham crackers broken into crumbs (we use a food processor)

For topping:

  • fresh whipped cream

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Beat egg whites and baking powder until stiff peaks form. With mixer on high, slowly add the sugar. Add the vanilla. Slowly add in the cracker crumbs. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the pecans. Pour into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate and bake for 30 minutes. Cool, then top with fresh whipped cream. Refrigerate pie for 2 hours before serving.
