I love pie.
I love chocolate mousse pie, lemon meringue pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie.
I dare you to find a pie I don’t like.
Since I am human, I love Pecan Pie. We will not be having a pronunciation debate here because I’m from Michigan and according to everyone else I cannot pronounce anything right. If you are looking for something as decadent as Pecan Pie but has a twist, you will love this Oatmeal Pie recipe.
Oatmeal Pie is also called Poor Man’s Pecan Pie. It was actually a Depression Era recipe that came about because people couldn’t afford Pecans. I have to say, I love how easy this pie is and it’s so delicious. Also, oatmeal is a lot cheaper than pecans so there’s that. This is a perfect bake sale recipe. It’s easy, it’s cheap and it’s something different. You will be the hit. If you’re looking for bake sale recipes I can suggest this one as well.
Without any further ado, enjoy this recipe.
