    Recipe



    To make oatmeal cookies from crust recipe, spray a baking sheet with
    cooking spray and drop tablespoonfuls of mixture 1 inch apart onto baking
    sheet. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. To vary the pie, substitute pears
    for apples and adda touch of nutmeg.

    CRUST: Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. In
    large bowl, mix flour, oats, 'A cup sugar, cinnamon and baking soda. In
    medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup of applesauce, egg white and vanilla. Add
    applesauce mixture to flour mixture and stir until well blended- it may be
    easier to use your hands. If mixture seems too dry to roll out, stir in
    up to 'A cup more applesauce.

    On lightly floured surface, using lightly floured rolling pin, roll our
    half of oat mixture to form 12-inch circle. Reserve remaining mixture for
    top of pie. If necessary, press dough into pan with your fingers. Bake
    until set, 10 to 13 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine apples, sugar, 1/2 cup apple juice,
    cinnamon and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until
    apples are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. In cup, mix cornstarch and remaining
    1/4cup apple juice. Add to hot apple mixture and cook, stirring
    constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Spoon
    apple mixture into baked crust.

    On well-floured surface, using floured rolling pin, roll our remaining oat
    mixture to form 11-inch circle. Pierce with fork. Lightly fold in half,
    place over filling and unfold. Fold top edge under; crimp edge. Set pie
    on baking sheet to catch drips. Bake until crust is firm, 15 to 20
    minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
