This pie is like biting into an oatmeal cookie. The crunchy oat crust adds an interesting texture and pairs beautifully with the creamy cinnamon pudding. If you don’t polish it off in one sitting (which was a challenge in our house) this pie is a great leftover. You could probably even find a way to […]
