Ingredients

1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust (or other brand pie crust), softened as directed on the box


Directions

Filling:

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup corn syrup

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 eggs, slightly beaten

4 Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey Crunchy Granola Bars (2 pouches from 8.9-ounce box), crushed

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup chocolate chips

Whipped cream or ice cream, if desired

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place crust in 9-inch glass pie pan as directed on box for one-crust filled pie. In large microwaveable bowl, microwave butter on high for 50-60 seconds or until melted. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup until blended. Beat in salt, vanilla and eggs. Stir crushed granola bars and all remaining filling ingredients into brown sugar mixture, except whipped cream. Pour into pie crust-lined pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown, covering crust edge with foil during last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Store in refrigerator.
