Cherry Honey Oatmeal Pie
By: Janet Gill, Canton, Ohio | Runner Up, The Old Mill Recipe Contest 2020
“The history of this pie goes back a long way. This oatmeal pie was popular when pecans were unavailable or too expensive for many, like during wars. As the pie bakes, the oats rise to the top. I use The Old Mill Thick Rolled Oats which form a delicious and chewy top to the pie. I also replace the usual corn syrup in oatmeal pie with honey. I add tart dried cherries and sliced almonds for a little extra texture. Dried cranberries are a good substitute for the cherries if you prefer.”
