Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut and pecans separately on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown; set aside.
2 Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Remove pie crust from pouch; place flat onto work surface. With rolling pin, roll crust until 12 inches in diameter.
3 In small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Reserve 1 tablespoon sugar mixture; sprinkle remaining sugar mixture evenly over crust. Cut crust into 4 wedge-shaped pieces.
4 Place 1 banana lengthwise on each crust wedge, about 3/4 inch from curved edge (if banana is too long, trim ends to fit within crust, at least 1/4 inch from each edge). Push about 1 rounded tablespoon chocolate chips, points first, into top and sides of each banana.
5 Bring curved edge and point of each crust wedge up over banana to meet; pinch seam and ends to seal, shaping crust around banana. Sprinkle tops of wrapped bananas with reserved 1 tablespoon sugar mixture; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
6 Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Cool 5 minutes.
7 To serve, drizzle or spread about 2 tablespoons warm caramel topping on each individual dessert plate. Top each with baked banana, whipped cream and additional caramel topping, if desired. Sprinkle coconut and pecans over top of each. Serve with ice cream.

I have made this recipe several times and it's one of my favorites. It is very easy to make and has a wonderful flavor. I love mine with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream on top.

yeah - the recipe is for bananas wrapped in pie crust dough, and folded over, the photo is a traditional pie. I wrote them, and they assured me that the photo IS of the Banana Dessert wraps, that it's CALLED wraps, but it's really a pie. What a shame. I'd love a photo of what the finished product is supposed to look like. It sounds delicious, but it's easier for me if I know what it's supposed to turn out like. There's no way, if you followed the directions, that it would come out looking like the photo. I'd also love to know the recipe for that pie that IS pictured.

While the recipe sounds good and the picture looks good, it doesn't seem that they go together.
