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 brown sugar oatmeal cookie crust using a box of Krusteaz cookie mix, and in one word… scrumptious!

Pumpkin Pie with Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookie Crust

I mixed up a box of Krusteaz Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookie Mix as directed, but instead of baking cookies, I pressed it into a pie pan, poured pumpkin filling over the top and baked!

Ingredients

Crust:

Filling

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12- oz can evaporated milk
  • 15- oz can pure pumpkin

Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Food coloring orange
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

For Pie Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare cookie dough as directed. Reserve 1 cup cookie dough; set aside.
  • Press prepared cookie dough into greased 9” pie pan, covering the bottom but only going up the sides about halfway.

For Pie Filling:

  • In mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Beat in 2 eggs, evaporated milk and pure pumpkin. Pour over cookie shell. Carefully cover edge of pie with tin foil to prevent over-browning.
  • Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F; bake 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out nearly clean. Center will be set, but may still jiggle. Remove from oven; let cool.
  • Using reserved 1 cup cookie dough, press and flatten on cookie sheet to about 1/4” thickness. You’ll be cutting jack-o-lantern eyes, nose and mouth from these sections, so size them appropriately. Bake 350°F for 10 minutes. Let sit briefly, but while still warm, trim the cookie into desired jack-o-lantern shapes.

For whipped cream topping:

  • Beat together whipping cream and orange food coloring until soft peaks form. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar.
  • Beat until whipped cream forms stiff peaks. Pipe on completely cool pie as desired.

    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!

    Oh my word. This looks amazing. I’m not a big pumpkin fan, but this? I would need to try. The crust sounds to die for. I would love it on my lemon pies too.
