Apple Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust Recipe

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 7 large tart apples — peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
PREPARATION – CRUST
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spray 9-inch pie pan with cooking
    spray.
  3. In large bowl, mix flour, oats, 2/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and baking
    soda.
  4. In medium bowl, mix 3/4 cup applesauce, egg white and vanilla. Add
    applesauce mixture to flour mixture and stir until well blended- it may be
    easier to use your hands. If mixture seems too dry to roll out, stir in up
    to 1/4 cup more applesauce.
  5. On lightly floured surface, using lightly floured roling pin, roll out
    half of oat mixture to form 12-inch circle. Reserve remaining mixture for
    top of pie. If necessary, press dough into pan with your fingers. Bake
    until set, 10 to 13 minutes.
PREPARATION – FILLING
  1. In a medium sized saucepan, combine apples, sugar, 1/2 cup apple juice,
    cinnamon and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until
    apples are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. In cup, mix cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup apple juice.  Add to hot apple mixture and cook, stirring constantly,
    until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND BAKE
  1. Spoon apple mixture into baked crust.
  2. On well-floured surface, using floured rolling pin, roll out remaining
    oat mixture to form 11-inch circle. Pierce with fork. Lightly fold in half,
    place over filling and unfold. Fold top edge under; crimp edge. Set pie on
    baking sheet to catch drips.
  3. Bake until crust is firm, 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve warm or chilled.
