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??
Liz says
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!
Autumn says
Did you ever find an alternative for the oatmeal cookie mix? I would like to make this for thanksgiving and starting to plan and gather.
Liz says
You could try this with the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix!
Corrie says
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
Liz says
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!
MAURine Gardner says
Where do you find the cooki mix? I have tried three stores and none of them have it.
Liz says
I found it here for you, but it’s out of stock at the moment. They can alert you when it’s back in stock though. 🙂

Huskyhauler says
I tried 3 grocery stores also to no avail.
But they all had Betty Crocker Otmeal cookie mix so I’m going with that.
sisaac says
Has anyone tried replacing it with just the Betty Crocker regular oatmeal cookie mix? It’s all I could find as well.
Susan says
How did this go? I’m using the Betty Crocker mix, today.
Sandi K says
I used Betty Crocker mix a couple of years ago and it was a huge hit at family get together. My daughter-in-law couldn’t stay away from it. I plan to make again SOON!!
