Pumpkin Pie with Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookie Crust – yes, yes, yes.

Everyone loves pumpkin in the Fall and it’s a big part of Thanksgiving celebrations. I have a favorite pie recipe I fall back on, but this year I decided to sprinkle a little magic on it and give it a tasty twist.

So, I made a pumpkin pie with a cookie crust using a box of Krusteaz cookie mix, and in one word… scrumptious!

    I don’t know how you advertise the Krusteaz Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookie Mix for this crust. I went in all the stores and on their website. They do not make this cookie mix! So how are you suppose to make this pie??

      When I created this recipe, I was working with Krusteaz in recipe development and the cookie mix was widely available. Unfortunately, that was 4 years ago and things appear to have changed. I appreciate you calling this to my attention as the cookie mix used to be available on Amazon. However, I just looked and I don’t see it there either. Soooooo, I’m going to have to rework the recipe using ingredients everyone can find. Add this to my to-do list!

    Hi – we are traveling this Wednesday to celebrate Thanksgiving with family who live 4 hours away from us.

    I’m going to prep a peanut butter pie tonight that I know freezes well.

    I’d love to make this recipe for pumpkin pie with oatmeal cookie crust. Do you think I could freeze it?
    What are your recommendations?

    Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!
    Warmly, Corrie

      I’ve had good experience freezing pumpkin pies so I think you could do that. Make sure it’s cooled completely then wrap and seal with plastic wrap. I like to put an outer covering of aluminum foil as well. The day before you’ll be serving it, unwrap it and let it defrost in the fridge. Technically it could defrost on the counter but pumpkin pie tends to get watery when you do that. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Confession: While I’m completely addicted to pumpkin everything, I’m normally kinda “meh” on pumpkin pie. Is that weird? I’m pretty sure though that this cookie crust is going to convince me! I can’t wait to try this out – thanks for sharing!

    I hope this isn’t a duplicate comment. I left one from my phone and am unsure it posted! I love this version of a pumpkin pie. Though traditional holiday pies are great, I love the idea of mixing it up without totally scrapping the whole concept. Fantastic recipe!

    I love pumpkin anything, and this crust sounds amazing! I have a bit of a cookie obsession- I even asked for cookie cake {like, a giant cookie with a little frosting} for my birthday 🙂

    Pumpkin pie is a favourite at my house. I have never made it with an oatmeal crust. Sounds like a fantastic addition to the pie and I know my family will love it. Brown sugar sounds so good as well.

    This sounds like a fantastic pumpkin pie recipe. I love pumpkin pie but don’t make it that often because my husband does not like it at all.

    I’m not much of a pumpkin pie person, but that oatmeal brown sugar crust sounds amazing. Maybe I’ll try this with a Boston Cream?

    I think I will be making this for Thanksgiving this year. I might just need to make a few of these a few weeks ahead just to make sure everything goes well. 🙂

    Pumpkin has never been at the very top of my favorite pie list and it’s mostly because the crust is pretty bland. I LOVE the idea of making it with the sweet flavor of brown sugar and giving it some texture with oatmeal!
