Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Rolled oats or crushed buttery crackers (e.g., Ritz)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Corn syrup (light or dark)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If not already prepared, roll out the pie dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats or crushed crackers with the melted butter. Stir until the oats or crackers are fully coated. Set this aside for later.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth.
Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the sugar mixture. Continue whisking until all ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold the butter-coated oats or crackers into the filling mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The top should be golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
