OATMEAL CREAM PIES

Steps:

• For the oatmeal pies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 sheet pans with silicone mats or parchment paper.
• Combine the oats, flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream together the butter and brown sugar until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, molasses and vanilla extract and whip together until fully combined, about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Portion the dough into 16 balls that are about 3 heaping tablespoons each and space an inch apart on the sheet pans. Bake until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft and slightly underset, begin checking at 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the pans, about 15 minutes, then cool completely on a rack.
• For the filling: Cream together the cream cheese, butter and coconut oil in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth and light, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract and whip until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a heaping tablespoon-size blob of filling on the underside of a cookie, then sandwich with another. Eat immediately or refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes for the filling to firm up. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge.

OATMEAL PIE WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the cream cheese, white sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract in a bowl and blend until creamy. Spread the mixture into the bottom of the pie crust. Whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, flour, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract in a separate bowl until combined; stir in the rolled oats. Pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until center is set, about 60 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

MEAT PIE, SOUTHERN VERSION

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch dish with cooking spray.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and ground pork. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cover and reduce the heat to medium; cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of the skillet and put the minced garlic directly on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant, and then blend the garlic with the meat mixture. Add the carrot, potato, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning blend, and salt and pepper.
• Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water in a bowl, and pour it into the meat mixture; mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry in the prepared baking dish. Gently press the pastry into the corners and up the sides of the dish. With a slotted spoon, transfer the meat into the crust and spread evenly. Avoid adding liquid to the pie. Top with Cheddar cheese.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the edges of the bottom puff pastry sheet. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry over the baking dish, pressing with a fork to seal the edges. Brush the surface with egg wash and pierce with a fork several times to vent the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Check after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning (tent with aluminum foil, if necessary). Remove the pie from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
