Family Recipe Friday - Aunt Veda's Oatmeal Pie

Here's a recipe I got from my gr-aunt Veda [my Grandma Bean's sister]. Aunt Veda was a wonderful country cook! No one could beat anything she made! From her homemade fluffy biscuits, to her red-eye-gravy, and her delicious homemade sausage! [Well, no one but maybe my Aunt Mildred, my Uncle John's wife. But Aunt Mildred holds her recipes tight to her apron!]

This recipe is one Aunt Veda used to make and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It's especially yummy when autumn's cooling breezes begin to blow! I eat mine plain these days. Just enjoying the delicious richness of the pie by itself!
