Oatmeal Coconut Pie

Submitted by Sweet PQ?

"This is a really easy pie to make. It's reminicescent of a pecan pie, but without the nuts. I like it because the inside is soft and chewy, while the top is crunchy. Sometimes, for a change, I throw in 1 cup of chocolate chips. I believe the original recipe came from Woman's Day. NOTE: Prep time does not include time it takes for pie shell to defrost."

Oatmeal pie is one of my favorite pies. I add about a 1/2 cup of crushed pecans to the party. I also add two tablespoons of molasses and cut the corn syrup to half a cup And I use dark corn syrup. The molasses enhances the flavor.

Delicious and super simple to make. I made it for out of town guests who asked for the recipe before even finishing their slices. I may add some sliced almonds to it the next time I make it. Yum, yum!
