Mix 60-75 sec until your dough comes together and all remnants of dry ingredients have incorporated. On a lower speed, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Increase the speed back up to a medium high for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar granules fully dissolve and the mixture is a pale white color. On a lower speed, add egg to incorporate. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium high for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy and pale yellow in color. To make oat cookie:В Heat the oven to 350F. Decorate your pies with 10x through a fine sieve or the pinch of your fingers. Wrap the crack pies if you are not serving them right away. Freeze your pie for as little as 3 hours or overnight to condense the filling for a dense final product-the signature of a perfectly executed crack pie. You can speed up the cooling process by carefully transferring the pies to the fridge or freezer if you're in a hurry. Gently take the half sheet pan of crack pies out of the oven and transfer to a rack to cool at room temperature. If the crack pie is still too jiggly, leave the pies in the oven an additional 5 minutes in the 325F oven. When the oven reads 325F, close the door and finish baking the crack pie for 5 minutes.ДЄt 5 minutes, the crack pie should still be jiggly in the bulls eye center, but not in the outer center circle. Know your oven, which corners bake your cookies or pies lighter or darker and take these nooks into consideration when placing your pies in the oven-use the shelf and corners that brown your baked goods best.ДЄt 20 minutes, open the oven door and reduce the baking temperature to 325F Depending on your oven this will take 5-10 minutes-keep the pies in the oven during this process. During this time, the crack pie will still be very jiggly, but should become golden brown on top. The filling should fill the crusts 3/4 way full. Divide the crack pie filling evenly over both crusts.

Place both pie shells on a 1/2 sheet pan. Use the pie shells immediately or, wrapped well in plastic, store the pie shells at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Make sure the bottom and the walls of the pie shells are evenly covered. Using your fingers and the palm of your hand, press the oat cookie crust firmly into both 10-inch pie shells. Divide the oat crust evenly over two 10' pie tins (two pies is always better than one). If it is not moist enough to do so, gently melt and additional 15-25g of butter and knead it into the oat crust mixture. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and, with your hands, knead the butter and ground cookie mixture until the contents of the bowl are moist enough to knead into a ball. (If you don't have a food processor, you can fake it till you make it and crumble the oat cookie diligently with your hands.) Put the oat cookie, brown sugar and salt in the food processor and pulse it on and off until the cookie is broken down into a wet sand. Let it cool until it is not hot to the touch before proceeding. In a microwave, gently melt your butter on a med/low setting for 15-30 seconds. Cut pie into thin wedges and serve cold.To make pie:В Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift powdered sugar lightly over top of pie.Cool pie completely in pie dish on wire rack.Continue to bake until filling is brown on top and set around edges but center still jiggles slightly, about 20 minutes longer. Interpret the name as you like, but the result is the same вЂ¦ an all time delicious sugar high! In the best meaning possible way. With a name like this, Crack Pie seems enticing. More so after my recent bout of Smoothie madness, Crack Pie indulgence felt well deserved! I really enjoyed making that, yet I enjoyed this challenge more. That was around the time Life of Pi was winning Oscars galore. I made a delicious Strawberry Pie some time back using a pie bird. I was ecstatic when I read вЂњ Life of PieвЂќ. I had the book on my wish list back then. Rachael from pizzarossaВ was our lovely June 2013 Daring BakersвЂ™ host and she had us whipping up delicious pies in our kitchens! Cream pies, fruit pies, chocolate pies, even crack pies! ThereвЂ™s nothing like pie! ItвЂ™s one I watched bloggers make and celebrate ecstatically when MomofukuвЂ™s Milk came out in 2011. Nothing healthy about it other than the oats in the base maybe. For once, this is just pure decadence in a sweet sort of way. This is Momofukus trademark pie, a classic as craveable as the name implies, one that guarantees an instant sugar high. вЂњIt could be argued that there is an element of entertainment in every pie, as every pie is inherently a surprise by virtue of its crust.вЂќД¬rack Pie вЂ¦ sweet indulgence.
