This Old-Fashion Oatmeal Pie recipe dates back to the civil war. It seems pecans were in short supply and oatmeal was substituted for pecans in pecan pie.
The results were astonishing.
The oatmeal floats to the top forming a crust and it has the creamy texture and appearance of a real pecan pie.
When you cut into this pie it’s really ooey gooey. Perfect for an ice cream topping. So nice and moist with a wonderful texture.
Give this unusual pie a try and surely it will become a keeper in your recipe file.
