French coconut pie with bought crust

Yesterday I made a French coconut pie, since I had some coconut left over that I needed to use.  I remember Mother used to make this, but I don't seem to have her recipe here.  I used Mrs. Taylor's recipe from the church cookbook.  I wanted to compare a bought crust with the one I made last week, so I used Marie Callender's. 

The recipe was easy and it cooked well.  The crust was fine, evenly browned on the bottom, though a bit tough on the crimped part. 

Taste test:  Love it.

French Coconut Pie

1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/3 c coconut
1 stick oleo (I used butter)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp vinegar

Melt butter and add sugar; beat eggs and add to butter and sugar.  Add vinegar and vanilla.  Pour into unbaked shell (I used 9-inch) and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until set.
