If you’re a fan of pecan pie, get ready to be blown away by this classic Amish oatmeal pie. Yes, you read that right – oatmeal in a pie! But trust us, it’s a delightful substitution that dates back to the 1800s. During times when pecans were scarce and expensive, people had to get creative with their desserts. And luckily for us, this innovation resulted in a mouthwatering, pecan pie-esque Amish treat.

The heart of this pie’s flavor is brown sugar. Combined with oats and other ingredients, it creates a gooey, heavenly filling that rivals pecan pie (minus the corn syrup!). But that’s not all! The real showstopper is the crispy topping that forms during baking. Taking a spoonful and experiencing the satisfying crunch of the caramelized topping is pure bliss. Trust us when we say, you might just forget about your pecan pie recipe for a while!
