Ingredients

  • 1 single 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup light corn syrup 312g, I use Karo
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter 28g
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup quick oats uncooked

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it firmly against the sides. If using a homemade crust, make sure it’s chilled and rolled out evenly. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. These dry ingredients will give your pie that perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy. Add the light corn syrup, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix well to combine all the wet ingredients.
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is fully combined. Then, fold in the quick oats. The oats add texture and a subtle chewiness to the pie filling.
  • Carefully pour the oatmeal pie filling into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the filling reaches the edges.
  • Place the pie on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can check doneness by gently shaking the pie; it should have a slight jiggle but not be liquidy.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial to allow the filling to set properly. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to ensure a smooth filling without lumps. Don’t overbake – the filling should be set but still slightly soft in the center. For a flakier crust, blind bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the brown sugar to ¾ cup. Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor; ground cinnamon can lose potency over time. Let the pie cool fully before slicing to achieve clean, neat slices. Variations include adding nuts, spices, substituting sweeteners, making it gluten-free or vegan. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
