Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup lard or shortening
  • 1 tablespoon plus 4 to 5 teaspoons cold water, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2/3 cup regular rolled oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk or a combination)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • In mixing bowl, stir together flour and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in lard until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of mixture, and gently toss with fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat moistening process, using 1 teaspoon cold water at a time, until dough is completely moistened. Form dough into ball.
  • On lightly floured surface, use hands to slightly flatten dough. With rolling pin, roll dough from center to edge, into 12-inch-diameter circle. Roll pastry around rolling pin, and unroll into 9-inch pie plate. Ease crust into plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim pastry to 1⁄2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp edge. Do not prick pastry.
  • In medium saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, corn syrup and oats. Add eggs and vanilla.
  • Pour filling mixture into shell, and sprinkle with pecans, cashews and chocolate chips. Cover edges of pie with foil to prevent burning.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool on wire rack. Discover more holiday pie recipes.
