This year, we came to the insane idea that we could make the most delicious pie crust out of any of our oat bars. Yes, a pie crust! Our friend Susan at My Real Dish took this recipe and made it her own, complete with lemon meringue. Yes, l-e-m-o-n meringue. It’s delicious. And you should make it. View the full recipe from her blog here.
