Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- â…” cup sugar
- â…” cup light corn syrup
- â…” cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup quick cooking oats
Crust
- 1 (9-inch) regular frozen pie shell, unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pie evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Then, gently stir in the quick cooking oats to incorporate them evenly into the mixture.
- Fill Pie Shell: Pour the oat mixture evenly into the unbaked 9-inch frozen pie shell, making sure the filling is spread uniformly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the filled pie shell on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The filling should set and the top become lightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and cool it on a wire rack to room temperature before slicing and serving. This helps the filling to firm up for clean slices.
Notes
- Use quick cooking oats for the best texture; regular rolled oats can be substituted but may result in a chewier filling.
- If you prefer a deeper caramel flavor, substitute dark corn syrup for light corn syrup.
- Let the pie cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly and slices neatly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
