To add another layer of flavor, consider toasting the pecans before chopping them.

Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups oats
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup chopped pecans
1 roll pre-prepared pie dough

Preparation

For oatmeal:
Bring 4 cups water to a boil on stove top.
Add in 2 cups oats and cook to desired consistency—we recommend 20 minutes.
Once consistency is to your liking, add in the cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
Stir and let thicken on low heat.
While oatmeal is thickening, roughly chop pecans and measure out 1 cup, and add into oatmeal mixture.
Stir until well integrated and leave on low heat for 10 minutes.

For pie crust top:
Preheat oven according to pie dough instructions.
Remove pie dough from refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
Roll out the pie dough, and place the pie pan upside down in the middle of it.
Using a butter knife, cut the excess dough out from around the pie pan, then place the cut circle onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 11 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from oven to cool.

Assembly:
Once pie crust is cooked and oatmeal is done, pour oatmeal into pie tin, place pie crust on top, drizzle with extra maple syrup.
