Fruit pies are always best when paired with oatmeal... in my opinion. And, sometimes, I'm lazy and don't like to make "real" pie crusts because I haven't perfected the technique yet and easily get annoyed at the dough.
So, I came across a really easy pie crust, and it uses oatmeal!! It was love at first sight.
Oatmeal Pie Crust
3/4 C flour (you can mix white and whole wheat)
1/2 C quick cook oats
1/2 tsp. salt
3 T oil
4 T ice cold water
Combine flour, oats and salt in a mixing bowl.

Slowly drizzle in the oil, mixing with a fork until crumbly.
 |
Add ice water and continue stirring until dough gets sticky. Pour dough into a 9-inch pie plate, and press to form a crust.

To pre-bake the shell, prick with a fork several times and bake at 400 for 10 minutes until light golden brown.
Otherwise, fill according to pie directions.
Oh I am SO all over this. I love love love this idea. I adore oats but never thought to put them in a crust. Thank you!

ReplyDelete(I cannot for the life of me make a pie crust. It is pathetic.)
What a great idea! I am definitely going to use this recipe. Ingenious!
ReplyDeleteI have never noticed this recipe here before - I will have to try it. It looks much healthier than traditional pastry.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really yummy crust! I loved it!!! We paired it with marionberry pie filling with a whole wheat crumb topping on top and it was a hit!!
ReplyDeleteThis crust looks awesome, I hate pie crusts too, this looks so easy! Thanks!
