Category: Pies - Miscellaneous

1 deep dish pie shell
16 saltine crackers, crushed
15 ounce can fruit cocktail of your choice, well drained
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Prick bottom of pie crust several times with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

While crust is baking, place egg whites in mixing bowl and beat until still peaks form. Add sugar and baking powder and beat again until sugar is well incorporated, about one minute more.

Using a large spoon, gently fold in nuts, drained fruit, cracker crumbs, and vanilla until it is all well combined.

Pour into baked pie crust. Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Allow to cool completely before serving.
