Anyhoo, the reason I allowed myself to eat this for breakfast is that in the whole entire pie, there is just a little over 1/2 cup of sugar and 4 T of butter. The rest is good, wholesome stuff-eggs, oatmeal, apples, milk - breakfast, right? I was shocked to see that a custard made out of 2% and eggs (the whole eggs, not just the yolks) would set so perfectly, and maintain its texture perfectly when refrigerated for a few days.
The crust is pretty much a big oatmeal cookie. BUT..... don't add to much water. It should not be sticky like cookie dough at all, or else it will stick to the pie plate. It needs just barely enough water so that it will stay together when pressed.
It's just so easy to throw together, and sort of good for you, so just go and make it already.
Oh! It's from the February 2010 Vegetarian Times. Here's the recipe.
