What Is Texas Trash Pie?
Texas trash pie is the brainchild of the Royer family.
Fold the overhanging dough underneath itself to build up the crust and crimp as desired.
Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
Prick the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork.
Freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
Once firm, line the crust with parchment and fill it with dried beans or pie weights.
Bake on the lower rack until the crust edge is lightly golden and matte, 15 to 17 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully remove the parchment and weights.
Lightly re-prick the crust and gently press down any spots bubbling up, if needed.
Let cool set over a wire rack until room temperature, about 45 minutes.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling.
Chop the pretzels; you should have about 1 cup chopped.
Crush the graham crackers and add them to a large bowl with the pretzels.
Finely chop the caramels using a greased sharp knife, yielding about 1 1/4 cups.
Chop the pecans and add everything to the large bowl.
Toss in the coconut and both kinds of chocolate chips and mix to combine.
Turn the oven down to 350F.
Pour over the pretzel mixture and fold until evenly combined.
The filling will be thick.
Top with more whole pretzels as desired.
Cool the pie set over a wire rack until warm but not hot, about 1 hour.
If serving the next day, cool the pie completely, then loosely cover and store at room temperature.
