Honey Oatmeal Pie

• 1 unbaked 9″ pie crust (half of the recipe for Easy Pie Crust)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup margarine, melted
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup dry oatmeal
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Prepare half the recipe for Easy Pie Crust, and fit it into a 9″ pie plate. Flute or crimp the edges, and set it aside.

In a medium sized bowl combine the honey, margarine, sugar, and eggs. Beat very well. Add the oatmeal and salt. Mix again. Turn the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes. It should be sort of solid when you give it a good shake on the oven rack. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool some. Serve warm (or rewarmed in the microwave) with ice cream or Whipped Topping.

This is an old fashioned southern recipe that resembles pecan pie, although it is much (MUCH!) cheaper to make. Some cooks add coconut to the recipe along with the oatmeal. Half a cup is enough for this recipe. This amount of filling makes a somewhat shallow pie, so there is plenty of room for the coconut and maybe 1/2 cup of raisins too.
