Oatmeal Pie Update

Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

The other day I posted a recipe for oatmeal pie, this is the classic version, the one first published in The Amish Cook column, and I LOVE this recipe. Below it is a different version adapted from Elizabeth’s, but there are some differences. If you are a real oatmeal pie fan, try both:) The second recipe is from a neat blog, which you can see here. A version of THAT inadvertently got posted the other day! Too many recipes, too little time right now:)

“Indiana” Amish Oatmeal Pie

Ingredients:

Nothing-in-the-House pie crust recipe, halved (I noticed that Coblentz’s was very close to ours)

1/2 c. (one stick) unsalted butter, melted

1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

3/4 c. light corn syrup (could use brown rice syrup or agave)

3/4 c. rolled oats

1/2 c. pecan pieces (the original recipe uses walnuts)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Follow the Nothing-in-the-House pie crust recipe (halved, as only a bottom crust is needed), roll out chilled crust and place in a greased and floured pie pan. Flute edges. In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar and eggs. Add corn syrup, oats, nuts, and combine. Pour into pie shell and bake for 1 hour until thickened inside and golden brown on top.
