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.
