    What you will love about this pie

    This pie offers a unique twist from its cousin, the classic pecan pie. It is full of crunchy walnuts which pair perfectly with hardy, rustic oatmeal. Add that to a soft, gooey filling and walnut crust and you are in 'pie heaven.' Another bonus is this pie uses a premade walnut crust making it an easy dessert to put together.

    Ingredients

    ingredients needed to make pie using diamond walnut pie crust
    • Premade walnut crust: I use the walnut pie crust from Diamond which is found in my grocer's baking aisle.
    • Eggs: bring the eggs to room temperature before starting the pie. This will help to make a homogenous filling.
    • Unsalted butter: use slightly cooled, melted butter.
    • Granulated sugar
    • Cornstarch
    • Walnuts: lightly toast the walnuts and chop into small pieces before adding to the filling
    • Oatmeal: use old-fashioned oatmeal. Quick-cooking oatmeal can create a gummy texture.
    • Corn syrup: dark is preferred but light corn syrup may also be used.
    • Chocolate chips: the chocolate is optional for the walnut oatmeal pie. If using, sprinkle a handful evenly over the pie filling before baking.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Equipment needed

    This oatmeal walnut pie couldn't be easier to make. No special equipment is needed to whip up the recipe - just a bowl, a whisk and a spatula!

    See recipe card for detailed instructions.

    Variations

    This oatmeal walnut pie is wonderful on its own - but the versatility of this recipe allows you to create a dessert that adapts to different occasions and personal preferences. Consider the following variations:

    • Stir in ¾ cup of shredded coconut and replace the walnuts with macadamia nuts for a tropical twist on this pie.
    • Add ¾ cup of raisins to the pie filling for even more chewy texture and taste.
    • Simply serve with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Storage

    After the pie has cooled, place in an airtight container or wrap in foil. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing this pie.

    Top tip

    An instant-read thermometer is a handy tool for knowing when the walnut oatmeal pie is done. The internal temperature will be 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

    FAQ

    Can I use a different crust with the oatmeal walnut pie?

    Certainly. Consider using my sweet dough recipe which creates a rich cookie-like crust.

      The combination of crunchy walnuts and hearty oats creates a beautiful contrast against the gooey, sweet filling that binds everything together perfectly. It's like a warm hug for my taste buds.

      What a tasty way to enjoy oatmeal for dessert. I added raisins, thanks for suggesting that addition. The pie was rich and delicious. The flavor reminded my family of an extra special, chewy oatmeal cookie. But better!
