- 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.
