Mom's Oatmeal Pie

Our Thanksgiving Dinner at my dad's house was wonderful. We had a great time catching up with friends and family members and eating delicious food. One of the best items on the menu was the Oatmeal Pie that Sister Ruth made. She found the recipe several years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. This pecan-pie like desert, topped with cinnamon whipped cream is absolutely delicious!
