Mock Pecan Pie

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups butter or margarine (3 sticks)
• 3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 quarts dark corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups eggs (15 medium)
• 1 1/2 quarts rolled oats
• 6 unbaked 9-inch pie shells

Instructions

1. Cream butter or margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add syrup, cinnamon, and salt to creamed mixture. Mix at low speed 1 minute or until blended.
3. Add eggs to the creamed mixture. Beat until well mixed about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in oatmeal until it is well mixed. Divide pie filling evenly between pie shells.
5. Bake for about 45 minutes or until center is firm.
