This is a good crust as it doesn't get soggy, but the oatmeal doesn't cook quite enough to blend in well, taste-wise, with the cookie crumbs. Will use again, though, as it holds up well and is easy to make. Thanks for sharing! Update: made this again for a strawberry pie and this time coarsely ground the oatmeal in a mini-food processor before adding to the crumbs. Used white sugar, as had no brown. These changes made the taste perfect and have changed the rating from 4 to 5. Thanks again for a crust that can truly stand up to a juicy filling.

Wow! This is a great crust! The dark brown sugar and vanilla do make it taste like a cookie. Great texture, enough crumb mixture to make a generous pie crust. I simply can't think of anything this would NOT be good with, but am dreaming of cream pies like butterscotch, vanilla, caramel...or maybe chocolate or peanut butter...or maybe fruit. I think that about covers it. Thanks, s'kat, for a great recipe!

OOps! I accidentally reviewed the graham cracker coconut pie crust instead of this one. This is the one I actually made and I loved it. It was delicious! I will use this one often. It tasted like an oatmeal cookie and my husband really liked it. So did the two missionaries I fed it to for supper. Thanks! (and I will try your coconut pie crust next, I have just the recipe for it!)

I picked this one because it had the amount listed as I wanted to use some crumbed cereal instead of graham crackers. But I don't think it worked with the cereal. There wasn't enough liquid to hold it together and while it had a nice flavor it didn't hold anything in. I liked the taste though.

Loved this crust for Bert's Strawberry Pie. I loved the addition of the oats. This was by far the best graham cracker crust I've ever made--I usually don't make them because I hate how they turn out. Not this one! Loved how substantial and sturdy it was., Thanks S'kat!

I really enjoyed this crust. I too have never had success with a graham crumb crust and this turned out perfect. I used it for a keylime pie (#109918)-yummy!

Excellent crust! The whole family loved it. The oats in it are great and I think the brown sugar and vanilla give it such a good flavor. Yummmy. I made it with Fresh Strawberry Pie #16881 and can't wait to have the leftovers tonight. Not sure if I'll make any other graham cracker crust recipe again.

Just made this and before I even give them a chance to devour it, I'm going to say WTG and THANK YOU!!!!! This is the first graham based crust that ever ever turned out well for me. It's durable! YAY! I did, however have to use light brown sugar and used rolled oats, which didn't make any difference. Thanks again for the terrific technique/recipe! Only one for me for now on!

This formed the basis for a spectacular apple pie... the Thanksgiving clan gathering made short work of it. Great recipe!

This was by far the best graham cracker crust I have ever made or tasted. It was thick enough and actually stayed together when cut, not to mention delicious. Excellent recipe.
