For my brother’s birthday, he requested his favorite pie… Key Lime! I had never made this type of pie before, but was up for the challenge after hunting around on Recipezaar.com for the perfect recipe.
I used this recipe for the crust which contained the graham crackers and oatmeal, instead of just the plain oatmeal crust. It turned out perfect and made the crust a little heartier and a tad less sweet, which balanced the citrus wonderfully.
I don’t have any pictures of the pie because we gobbled it up too fast, but it turned out wonderful. I used this recipe for the filling and the only thing I didn’t like about it was that I thought I should have doubled the filling for these pies. I had a lot of crust and a little filling, which made it look more like a tart with too much crust. Regardless, everyone seemed to really enjoy it and I was proud to get to help with the celebration!
I look forward to making more of these this summer. Lucky for me, it is the only pie my husband will eat so I am glad to have found a recipe that he liked.
Yum! That’s my favorite kind of pie, too. I made a version a few years ago with lime Jello mix, which sounds horrible but was actually good.

I will defintely try this crust recipe. I have used a recipe nearly identical to yours for the filling and LOVE it…the KEY LIME juice really makes it great! I use Nellie & Joes Key Lime Juice and love it. It is now available at Kroger and Meijer in our area-I used to have to get it at a specialty store.
