If there is one recipe that everyone should have in their back pocket it’s a killer pie recipe. Not only is pie delicious, let’s face it, they can be down right impressive. And that’s exactly what I have for you today with this fresh strawberry pie with an oatmeal cookie crust. Yup, you read that right: Oatmeal. Cookie. Crust. Let me just give you a second to wipe your drool.

All good? Good. Back to the pie. Earlier this summer I dragged the fiance strawberry picking and, let me tell you, there is no better smell than that of a strawberry patch during peak season. Y-U-M! We walked out of the patch with muddy shoes (it had JUST rained), stained hands, and 12 pounds of summery strawberry goodness- totally worth it! My first thought when we drove home was “I’ve GOT to make a pie!” Well, I made four. Tweaking the recipe a little each time, I happily present you with the perfect finished product! Totes not mad about recipe testing this one to perfection 😉

Oatmeal cookie in place of regular crust is such a fun spin on your typical strawberry pie. It’s seriously so good that I could eat it by itself. Actually, I ate quite a bit of the dough when making it because it’s THAT delicious.

Since we picked a gazillion pounds (12 is the new gazillion), I’ll definitely be making this one again.

Happy Eating!
