Momofuku strikes again

This time not with cookies, but with "crack" pie.
That is really what this pie is called. Named for it's addictive qualities, this pie is awesome late at night with a glass of milk, which is exactly how Ty and I enjoyed it last night :)

This pie takes a little bit of planning because the crust is made from cookies that need to be made ahead of time.

Momofuku's Crack Pie

Oatmeal Cookie for Crust:
2/3 cup flour

3. Cream the butter with the sugars.
4. Add the egg to the butter and incorporate the dry ingredients.
5. Press into pan and bake 20 minutes. Allow to cool.

Crust:
(this recipe makes enough for 2 pie crusts. I used 1/2 to make 1 pie and froze the rest to use later for another pie or to top a crumble)
