For a cozy, old-fashioned treat, try this Amish Oatmeal Pie! With its sweet, caramel-like flavor and slightly chewy texture, it’s a wonderful dessert that’s easy to make and always a family favorite. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special touch.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked pie shell
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well to mix. Add in the milk, beaten eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Fill the Pie Crust
Pour the oat mixture into the prepared pie shell, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown. The center should no longer be jiggly when the pie is done.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Tips for the Best Amish Oatmeal Pie
- Letting the pie cool slightly before serving helps it set and makes slicing easier.
