AMISH OATMEAL PIE - Guide Recipe

AMISH OATMEAL PIE - Guide Recipe

Have you ever heard of Amish Oatmeal Pie?  Evidently during the Civil War , pecans were in short supply in the South , making them very expensive. People would substitute oatmeal for the pecans , resulting in this delicious oatmeal pie that tastes similar to a pecan pie. I’ve only had pecan pie a handful of times in my life and I actually prefer this oatmeal pie over pecan pie. This recipe , however , doesn’t come from a Southern cookbook , but from my Amish cookbook. I’m sure both know how to make a good pie!

This sweet pie bakes up soft and gooey. Every bite brought a different food to mind. A bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar. A cinnamon roll. Oatmeal Cookies.  Pecan pie. Oatmeal is one of those versatile ingredients that is in so many comfort foods of ours. And this pie is one of my new favorites.
