Today, we are continuing our pie legacy by sharing the delicious recipe for an Old Fashioned Oatmeal Pie!
What Is An Oatmeal Pie
Many people describe Oatmeal Pies as just about exactly like Pecan Pies…. Just without the Pecans. This works for me because, well, Pecan Pies are awesome. But, pecans can be a bit pricey AND some people are allergic to them (my son included).
This makes an Oatmeal Pie a great dessert recipe for just about any occasion. In fact, Oatmeal Pies were said to have originated in the South as a substitution for Pecan Pies when Pecans were hard to come by.
They are soft, gooey and have that distinct, rich brown sugar flavor that is just BEGGING to have some vanilla ice cream on top of it!
How To Make Oatmeal Pie
As with just about all our Pies here on Bubba Pie, we start with a premade, store bought pie crust. Listen, that’s just how we roll here. We believe in cheap and easy meals that ANYONE can recreate with mostly the ingredients they already have in their kitchen! But, if you wanna make your own pie crust, this is where you’d do it!
Otherwise, this may be the easiest Pie Filling you’ll ever see! You can literally put this filling together and into the pie crust in just a couple minutes. And then next stop will be the oven! But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s see what we’ll need to get started:
-
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 premade pie crust for 9″ pie plate
Notes and Tips
You’ll know that this Oatmeal Pie is done when it passes the old “jiggly” test. If it’s slightly jiggly in the center but firmer on the sides, you know your ready to take it out of the oven. The center will firm up as it cools.
I’ve seen some people add some Coconut Shavings to the top of this pie to add a little sweetness and flavor. If that’s your thing, go for it!
You can also up the complexity of the flavor by adding a little cinnamon to the pie filling. I’d mix in about 1/2 tsp.
And, have I mentioned this enough? Serve it with some Ice Cream!
I hope you enjoy this recipe for an Old Fashioned Oatmeal Pie. Let me know how it turns out in the comments.
