Oatmeal Pie
This oatmeal pie is made with oatmeal, brown sugar, butter, and eggs.
Prep Time: :
Cook Time: :45
Ingredients:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 cup melted butter
2/3 cup white corn syrup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2/3 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, combine eggs, butter, corn syrup, brown sugar,
oatmeal, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake at
350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until firm. Serve topped with vanilla
ice cream or whipped topping.
======================
Honey Oatmeal Pie
1 unbaked 9" pie crust (half of the recipe for Easy Pie Crust)
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup margarine, melted
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup dry oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare half the recipe for Easy Pie Crust, and fit it into a 9" pie
plate. Flute or crimp the edges, and set it aside.
In a medium sized bowl combine the honey, margarine, sugar, and eggs.
Beat very well. Add the oatmeal and salt. Mix again. Turn the filling
into the prepared pie crust. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes. It should be
sort of solid when you give it a good shake on the oven rack. Remove
from the oven and allow it to cool some. Serve warm (or rewarmed in
the microwave) with ice cream or Whipped Topping.
This is an old fashioned southern recipe that resembles pecan pie,
although it is much (MUCH!) cheaper to make. Some cooks add coconut to
the recipe along with the oatmeal. Half a cup is enough for this
recipe. This amount of filling makes a somewhat shallow pie, so there
is plenty of room for the coconut and maybe 1/2 cup of raisins too.
======================

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine oats, powdered sugar, cinnamon and salt in mixing bowl; stir
in butter and shortening.
Grease a 9-inch pie pan; press oatmeal mixture into bottom and up sides.
Bake for 20 minutes; cool at least 10 minutes, then fill with pie filling.
Yield Size: 1 single pie crust.
