Pumpkin Oatmeal Pie
Description
Home baking for tea. You can use all kinds of dried fruit in the preparation; I used raisins and dried apricots, and you can add chopped nuts if you like. So the pumpkin comes through better in the texture, you can mash the cooked pumpkin pieces with a fork and not turn them into a smooth purée with an immersion blender.

Place the fully prepared dough into a baking pan. I use a silicone pan, so I did not grease it or line it with parchment paper. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C for 45–50 minutes. Always check doneness with a wooden skewer.
