Cinnamon Sugar Butter Pie

Happy pi day! Had a bit of a crazy day here, so my video that goes with this entry got posted later than intended. At any rate, this pie is very tasty and different (in a good way!)...it does need to probably go about 5 extra minutes from what I show in the video. I am noting that change in the instructions below :)

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" round pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.

 

2. Make the crust-- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine on low speed the quick oats, brown sugar, cinnamon sugar spread, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Then mix in the flour until well combined.

 

3. Transfer mixture to prepared pie dish and press/pat into an even layer, including the sides, of pie dish.

7. Place a sheet of aluminum foil loosely to cover the pie. Bake for 15 min with the foil covering it.
