Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unbaked 9-inch Pie Crust | 1 |
| Large Eggs | 3 |
| Light Corn Syrup | ¾ cup |
| Granulated Sugar | ¾ cup |
| Brown Sugar, Packed | ½ cup |
| Unsalted Butter, Melted | ½ cup |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 tsp |
| Salt | ¼ tsp |
| Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats | 1 cup |
| Shredded Sweetened Coconut (Optional) | ½ cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Add the Oats: Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats (and shredded sweetened coconut, if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour into Pie Crust: Pour the prepared filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center of the pie should be slightly firm but still have a little jiggle.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This cooling time will help the filling to set properly and make it easier to cut into clean slices.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice and serve your Amish Oatmeal Pie. Enjoy!
