Our kids love oatmeal cookies, and this ooey-gooey crackle-top pie captures all the best flavors of a freshly baked oatmeal cookie in a dessert that is decidedly grown up. Our kids can’t get enough of it, and neither can the adults! This pie is a great alternative to pecan pie, equally as delicious and made with pantry staples so it’s easy to whip up for a special occasion or bake sale!
We love the golden brown color and the crackly top, but it’s hard to resist not topping it off with whipped cream or cool vanilla ice cream. Any way you serve it, be prepared to make this easy recipe regularly after your family gets a taste. This pie breaks with tradition but is the perfect alternative to pecan.
