Easy Buko Pie Recipe

         I was thinking of what snack to prepare for the kid's meryenda. My work would usually finish at around 2 in the afternoon, At that time yung focus ko nasa kung ano ang dapat kung iprepare, ibake or iluto para sa meryenda ng kids. They would often wake up from their afternoon nap at 3:30-4 pm so It's a perfect timing for me to prepare some snacks for them....

     ... while browsing for some recipes I came by to a post sa isang FB group where in they were talking about buko pie. I suddenly felt my mouth water upon seeing the photo of buko pie. (PG much! haha) I had a feeling that my two daughters would love to eat Buko Pie, It will be something new to them since I always bake apple pie for them.  

I have very simple Ingredients for a flaky, buttery pie crust. It's also very easy to make and I'm pretty sure you guys will love it.
