Pie # 22 Oats' N Honey Granola Bar Pie

034

Okay so this is my pick.  I saw this pie won the Pillsbury Bake-off back in 2004 and I have wanted to try it ever since.  So I’ll just be making and reviewing this pie, it won’t go to the judges.  But I’m so excited to finally try it after 7 years of wanting to!!

Ingredients

  • 1  pie crust
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 eggs , lightly beaten
  • 4 Nature Valley® Oats 'n Honey crunchy granola bars (2 pouches) crushed. To easily crush granola bars, do not unwrap. Use rolling pin to crush bars.
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream or ice cream , if desired

Heat oven to 350°F.
Place piecrust in 9-inch glass pie pan as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.

This pie was good, but I probably wouldn’t make it again.  It’s just not my kind of pie.  I you are a lover of pecan pie then you would probably love it.  I am glad I finally tried it and can cross it off my To Do list. 

ENJOY!!
