Amish Oatmeal Pie
#Ingredients:
– 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
– 1/2 cup (120 ml) light corn syrup or maple syrup
– 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
– 3/4 cup (75 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Prepare the Pie Filling:**
– In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup (or maple syrup), and melted butter until smooth and well-combined.
– Stir in the oats, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
3. **Assemble the Pie:**
– Pour the oatmeal filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
4. **Bake the Pie:**
– Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown. The pie should be slightly puffed in the center and may jiggle a little but will firm up as it cools.
– If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
5. **Cool and Serve:**
– Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
– Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips:
– **Make Ahead:** This pie can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
– **Variations:** You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) to the filling for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy!
