Oatmeal Cookie Crusted Apple Crumb Pie – OATrageous Oatmeals

I had been wanting to get more heart-healthy oats in my diet when I received information about a recipe booked called OATrageous Oatmeals. The health scare I had this entire summer got me thinking about my health and how eating the right foods can dramatically affect your health.

Of course I already had so many different types of oats in my pantry. It’s easy to buy the right ingredients. The key is to make that healthy choice. Oatmeal Cookie Crusted Apple Crumb Pie does not is not necessarily the healthiest thing you can eat, but it actually really is. So you can enjoy this one without a heaping serving of guilt. And no one would ever know because it looks, smells and tastes so darn tasty.

You can use the type of apple that you prefer for this recipe, but I used Ginger Gold apples – five small ones.

OATrageous Oatmeals is a fantastic recipe book filled with beautiful photography and a great variety of recipes. I was surprised to see soups, pudding, tea, and even home remedies and dog treats! If you need a bit of encouraging when it comes to eating your oats like me then I would highly recommend this book!
