Some college friends and I try to get together monthly for a Girl’s Night Out. This month there were only three of us, and our night fell on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so we stayed in, and had a pie-making night.
We made TWO pumpkin pies with pre-made roll out dough, and the recipe from the Libby’s Canned Pumpkin label… I had a helper when mixing my pumpkin pie:
The baked Pumpkin Pie looks so much better than the “raw stuff”–and it tasted even better!
and we made FOUR oatmeal pies with “from-scratch” crust (recipes for both Oatmeal Pie and our Pie Crust, below) What?! You’ve never had Oatmeal Pie? Tastes a lot like Pecan Pie… and the recipe was adapted by my best friend after trying Oatmeal Pie at a restaurant, Mondo’s. It also doesn’t look so good before baking:
..but after? Yummmmm….
Recipe for Pie Crust:
3 C flour
1 C Crisco
1 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
5 Tbsp Ice Water
1 tsp vinegar
Work Crisco into the flour with pastry cutter or knife/forks. Add remaining ingredients, mix well with fork. Divide in two and roll out. Makes two 9-inch pie crusts.
Recipe for Oatmeal Pie:
3 eggs
1 C Sugar
1 dash salt
1 C Dark Karo Syrup
1 C oatmeal
8 Tblsp margarine, melted
unbaked Pie Crust
Mix all ingredients together, pour into unbaked pie shell, and bake for 60 minutes at 350 degrees(f).
Delish. It is best served with Blue Bunny brand Cinnamon Ice Cream (only available at the holidays!) and, yes,
Blue Bunny brand is the best!
I’m getting excited to decorate for Christmas… at last week’s Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild meeting, I received these fun towels and picture frame from Marny in our Holiday Swap. Just my kind of Christmas colors, bright, with pink and lime green included!
Marny provided a
simple tutorial for making these towels (using 5″ Charm squares!!) on her blog, Modern Quilt Relish. Thanks, Marny, I really, really, like them!
