Apple Custard Pie With Oatmeal Crust

By Greywolf

This lightly sweet dessert is a triple threat of oaty goodness, featuring oatmeal, oat flour and oat milk. The recipe will also work with all-purpose flour and regular milk. A dusting of cinnamon sugar when the pie comes out of the oven gives it a sweet sparkle and crunch.

Ingredients

• CRUST
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup melted margarine or butter
• FILLING
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup oat milk
• 3 small apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8 wedges
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

To Make Crust

Stir together oats, oat flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in large bowl. Stir in margarine and 1/4 cup water until crumbly dough forms. Press dough into bottom and sides of prepared pie pan, moistening fingers with cold water, if necessary, to prevent sticking. Place pan on baking sheet, and bake 15 minutes, or until crust is light brown and bottom looks dry.

To Make Filling

Whisk together eggs, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Whisk in oat milk until smooth.

Arrange apple wedges on bottom of prebaked crust. Pour filling into crust and return to oven. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until filling is set.

Stir together remaining 2 Tbsp sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over hot pie. Cool on wire rack.
