Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

Start by grinding the rolled oats in a blender until they become a fine powder. Add the banana, gingerbread spice mix, and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly.

To form the base, press the mixture into a 16 cm (6.3 inch) diameter pie dish, creating edges. It’s best to do this with wet hands since the dough can be sticky.

Step 2

Make the Filling

In a separate bowl or blender, combine the cottage cheese, banana, gingerbread spice mix, and egg. Blend until smooth. A hand blender or food processor works well for this step.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the base, spreading it evenly. Then, slice the apple and arrange the pieces on top of the mixture.

Place the pie in a preheated oven set to 180°C (356°F) for approximately 30 minutes. Once baked, allow it to cool before removing it from the dish.

Servings

Picture this: a warm slice of Apple Oat Pie, its inviting aroma filling the air as you serve it fresh out of the oven! 🍏✨ For a simple yet delightful combination, pair your pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. You can also sprinkle some nuts on top for a satisfying crunch! Serve it at your next picnic or family gathering, and watch it disappear in no time. 🥳 Another fun idea is to cut out fun shapes from the pie and serve them as dessert bites for kids! They will love it! Make it a game by letting them assemble their own pie slices and add their favorite toppings. It's not just a pie; it's a festive experience! 🐾

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: For those sensitive to gluten, simply substitute the oats with gluten-free oats. The base will turn out just as delicious! 🌾
Vegan Version: Swap the egg for chia seeds: mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit until it thickens, and use it in the filling. This will keep the pie plant-based, yet scrumptious! 🌱
