If you have avoided making pies because you do not want to deal with making a pie crust, this recipe is for you. The crust is an oatmeal crust that you pat into the pan. Oatmeal crust, cream cheese layer and fresh berries, what a combination. This recipe could be adapted to any berry, such as, strawberries, red raspberries, and blueberries. Equally delicious and easy.
