How to Make Old Fashion Oatmeal Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add the beaten eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup light corn syrup, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add 2 cups rolled oats, mixing until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust (unbaked).
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
