Mock Pecan Pie Recipe?????
I think I remember seeing a recipe for a pie that's made like a pecan pie but used something else in place of the pecans. With the cost of pecans now-a-days I was just wondering plus I have a friend who cannot eat nuts but loves the pecan pie filling.

I used to make a mock apple pie using crackers which was pretty good. I found this recipe for mock pecan pie using oats.

MissEva ... you could make it without the nuts ... just mix up more filling, to fill the pie crust.
If you wanted add-ins ... cherries, coconut, raisins, craisins, other nuts (yes, an allergy issue, unless by chance there is one that is OK)
Good suggestion, QuiltAddict!!
... I've made this pie before and it is quite delicious.
MissEva ... Just don't tell anyone that it is made from oatmeal or they turn up their nose without trying it.
Granted, that could be good ... as there'd be more for you!

I have seen a recipe for mock pecan pie and it used crushed pretzels in place of the pecans. The best I can remember , everything else was the same as the pecan pie recipe.

I have had a pie that was made with Ritz crackers and chopped walnuts that was WICKED good. Not the mock apple pie.

i have not tried this recipe, but i make a grapenuts bread that tastes like it has nuts in it, but has none. this might be worth a try. i think i have an empty pie shell in the fridge....
