It tastes just like the classics that we all know and love.
This Amish oatmeal pie recipe is a classic. It’s understandable that you might wonder why oatmeal is in a pie. This is an incredible and surprising substitution that dates back to the 1800s. Pecans and other nuts were expensive and scarce during the Civil War. It was necessary to find new ways to create delicious desserts. They did, and it’s a good thing.
