Oatmeal Cinnamon Pie

I am sharing this post again because it is a delicious rustic fall treat.  Perfect with hot cider, hot chocolate, or coffee.   Enjoy!

Years ago, when I finally appreciated the art of dining out, I experienced the most wonderful dessert ever – Oatmeal Pie paired with cinnamon ice cream.  It was the most delightful awakening.  I ordered it at my favorite restaurant, Mondo’s…every time.  We had it on our first date…and many more years to follow.  As time went on, one of my favorite restaurant’s  closed, and so did my Oatmeal Pie.  I had yet to enjoy it again…

Until I recently re-discovered a pretty close copycat, Oatmeal Cinnamon Pie.  However, (I did not have the cinnamon ice cream) the pie, itself has cinnamon in it and then I sprinkled cinnamon on top of the vanilla ice cream.  Then I garnished with a heaping spoonful of caramel sauce.  Ahhh, how I missed you Oatmeal Pie.  This is a warm and rustic autumn pie.  It would be fantastic for the upcoming holidays, too!

My son welcomed the warm pie and ice cream, too 🙂
