Ingredients

2 cups quick-cooking oats use certified gluten free for gluten free crust
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place the oats, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the melted butter and process until well combined and the oats clump together, about 20-30 seconds.
2 cups quick-cooking oats, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ cup unsalted butter
Press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Tips: To make the crust come all the way up the sides, press evenly on the bottom to work the excess crust up the sides. Metal pans work better for crisper crusts and baked fillings. If using a glass dish, spray with nonstick cooking spray for easier releasing.
For a fully baked pie crust, bake for 18 minutes, or until oats are set. If the crust puffs up during baking, use a measuring cup to flatten gently immediately when it comes out of the oven. Cool completely before filling.
To fill with an unbaked filling, bake for 5 minutes before filling. Bake according to pie instructions, but for best results, bake the pie on the lowest oven rack.

Notes

Making Without Food Processor

Simply mix everything together in a bowl and press in the pie plate. However, the crust might fall apart a little more upon cutting because the food processor does a better job of binding the ingredients together.
