Oatmeal Coconut Cookie Pie, gluten free, sugar free, low fat/carbs

This scrumptious pie tastes like a big healthy oatmeal coconut cookie!  Nice enough to serve for a fancy desert and easy enough to make for a fast breakfast. You can't beat that! 

The crust is a revelation. It's flaky but more of a cookie as well. So, this is a cookie in a cookie pretending to be a pie...:) 

I changed up the lovely original recipe to make it bigger, more affordable, less sweet and a little easier to make.  She suggested toasting the oats, coconut and caramelizing the erythritol, but I didn't have that much time and I still loved the way it came out.  I'll try her suggestions next time to see if it makes it even better. You can also use bananas instead of applesauce in the filling. For my recipe use apx 3 medium mashed bananas to equal 1 cup. Enjoy your healthy cookie pie!

Note: 4/14/14 updated the crust to make it even better!
