Source: Dayle's Growlies

This makes 6 pies and serves 48

1 1/2 cup butter or margarine (3 sticks)
3 cup sugar
1 1/2 quarts dark corn syrup
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups eggs (15 medium)
1 1/2 quarts rolled oats
6 unbaked 9" pie shells

Cream butter or margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add syrup, cinnamon, and salt to creamed mixture.
Mix at low speed 1 minute or until blended.
Add eggs to the creamed mixture. Beat until well mixed about 3 minutes
Stir in oatmeal until it is well mixed. Divide pie filling evenly between
pie shells. Bake for about 45 minutes or until center is firm.
If necessary bake only 2 pies at one time, filling pie shells when
ready to bake. Oatmeal forms a pecan like crust on top of the pie.
Cut each pie into 8 wedges. Serve at room temperature with a dollop
of whipped cream.
