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.
