So today something cool happened. Alright, actually several cool things happened but I’m gonna focus on one here because if I took the time to write about every little detail in my life that I felt was cool or neat or served as evidence to enforce my view that the world is mostly a good place full of good people, y’all would just have to clock in each morning by 5:00 AM and hang in there with me til I ran out of wind around midnight – And Repeat next day 🙂
So I checked in on twitter and I saw a wonderful tweet from Charlie Daniels, so I retweeted it. Then I got to working in the kitchen and cranked up some CDB while I was cooking. I tweeted about that, too. Cool thing is, I heard back “Bet you’re cooking something good” from Charlie Daniels himself!
As a girl I used to listen to his fiddle playing, begging my dad to play Devil Went Down To Georgia over and over again. When I took up classic violin in middle school I had visions of playing like him one day. The fact that I never got much beyond The Old Gray Goose is entirely beside the point…
I called my mother and said “Guess who just talked to me on twitter? Charlie Daniels!”
She replied, “Really? Now you know They say he’s just the nicest man.
I held in my chuckle. We do that a lot around here, talk about “They” say this or that.
“They” is a group of people that just about everyone I know has. “They” apparently get together frequently to discuss current events, recipes, people, and raising your kids.
I’ve spent my life hearing: They say you should (insert should here)… They say this really tastes good…and when it comes to people “They say Charlie Daniels is the nicest man”
So I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who happens to be in our group of “They”. There are all sorts of “They” groups and I’m so thankful that the “They’s” in our lives are the kind that say nice things about people. :0)
If your group of “They” is like that, They say you should let them know how much they are appreciated!
And now, On to the Pie!
To make this delicious pie, you’ll need: Raisins, Cinnamon, quick oats, corn syrup, salt, brown sugar, and a wee bit of melted butter and flour.
You’ll also need a pie shell.
The original recipe called for a graham cracker crust but I’m using my traditional mix-in-the-pan pie crust. You can click here if you’d like that recipe.
Place brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well with a large spoon.
Until it looks like this
Now add in all of your other ingredients and mix again.
So it looks like this.
See how easy that was? Easy as pie, right?
Thus the expression 🙂
Oh! I forgot to show you my bowl.
You’ve probably seen this one before but just in case it is a Pyrex Cinderella Bowl in Amish Butterprint blue.
Ain’t it purty?
Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes or until just set in the center.
That means when you move it, the middle doesn’t jiggle.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving. I refrigerated mine to get it nice and cold. Wonderful served with whipped cream on top.
Ingredients
- 1-6- oz. graham cracker pie crust*
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 F.
- Beat together eggs, corn syrup, sugar and butter.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into crust. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is golden brown and filling is "just set" in center.
- Allow to cool completely.
*You can use a graham crust as suggested in the recipe or a store bought, unbaked pie shell of your choice. I'm using my unbaked Mix in Pan pie crust. Click here to get my Mix In Pan Pie Crust Recipe .

Can’t wait to try the pie — love oatmeal raisin cookies. BTW, I have that bowl, too. It was my mom’s.
I hope you like the recipe Brenda, and I KNOW you love the bowl, when it was your Momma’s that makes it even more special.
Hey,question about your make in the pan crust and this recipe. The crust recipe says bake 10minutes then fill. Does that still hold true for this pie too? Or can I fill right away and then bake?
Don’t bake it at all for this one. Sorry answer short, sick kids 🙂
Can I use regular rolled oats from the bulk bin?
You can Betsy, the texture might be some different but you can use them. If you want to make your regular oats into quick oats just pulse them in the blender. Either way will work though.
Christy – Every time I see that you’ve been in and around Nashville it makes me wish that I could meet you in person. I live in Middle Tennessee (so does Charlie Daniels) 🙂 and each time you’ve posted about being in this area, I’m so pleased. Then, when I saw you’d been to the Loveless (wasn’t it totally amazing??) I just had to write. Anyway, I’m such a big fan of yours and cook from your cookbook and website all the time. I’ve given your book as gifts and am looking forward to the next one. Well, this has turned into a great big ol’ fan letter, I suppose; but I truly appreciate all that you do and wish you every continued success.
One day we will just have to make it happen Alberta!
My husband is gonna love this pie! Thank you for sharing!
I hope you enjoy!! It is my new favorite!!
I’ve got all of the ingredients on hand to make this, including the cinderella bowl…I’ll post a follow-up later to let you know how it turns out. It looks
scrump-de-lisious! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to hear how it turned out Deanie!!
Your recipe sounds delicious, as do all the others. I love your Ciinderella bowl. I have a set of four since 1957, given to me as a housewarming gift.. The smallest one broke, but the others serve me well. They were 2 aqua bowls and 2 white ones with reverse design. I always enjoy reading your newsletter because it is so “homey” and friendly. At 90 years of age, I am still interested in learning about different recipes.
Emily, you just made my day!! I am so blessed to have you as a part of my Southern Plate Family!!
