We really needed a new dessert. While I don’t make dessert very often, my kids like it when I do, and they like it when we try something new and different.
I was so inspired by all of the delicious Amish cooking and baking during our time in Ohio that I thought I would try making this Amish Oatmeal Pie for the family one night when I promised them a special supper. The result was a hit that was different from our normal desserts, but in a good way.
This is an authentic recipe for Amish Oatmeal Pie as it was shared with me by some Amish friends.
