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 .

My husband loves oatmeal raisin cookies too! I only had old fashioned oats, made it anyway. Just took it out of the oven. Looks good and will have it for desert tonight. I will refrigerate leftover pie.
The old fashioned oats should work just fine. It will change the texture of the pie a little but it will still taste great!
Hi Christy….Sandy checking in! I’ve read your post, but what I really have to say is about Mama. For sometime I just loved reading your posts when you talk about your Mama, or she does a guest post. Then I found and read your Mama’s Heritage Hints #1 and #2. I feel she is so connected to “Southern Plate”….it’s just an awesome feeling when you mention her, all straight from your heart. Hope you had a gret time in Nashville together.
Making this recipe for my husband and son who LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies!! Hope this is a hit!
I hope it was a BIG hit Shannon, let me know how they liked it when you get a chance.
Here in New Mexico we have “they say”, as well! My mother also has the same Pyrex bowl as you! Aren’t they lovely?? Love your recipes and your stories!
I have to try this. I love oatmeal raisin cookies.
I just love your stories. “They” say you’re really nice too! Thanks for the recipe – looks yummy. FYI – I made Crispy Beef Casserole for my family (there are 3 of us) the other night and there was exactly one spooful left in the pan when we finished dinner. I love your recipes!
Oh, Christy! I have a set of bowls exactly like yours that I got when I married 46 years ago! I still use them. I’m anxious to try the pie recipe. It sounds like something we would love!
