Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they are coarsely ground but still retain some texture.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly.

Step 5

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough holds together when pressed between your fingers. If the mixture still feels too dry, add an additional teaspoon of water as needed.

Step 6

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, covering the bottom and sides firmly. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth out the edges.

Step 7

Using a fork, poke a few small holes in the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 8

Bake the oatmeal pie shell in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the shell is set.

Step 9

Remove the shell from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding your desired pie filling.
