Start with an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar.

Add 4 eggs, separated beforehand, and whisk together.

Pour in 1 cup of Vermont maple syrup.

Add 3/4 cup of light corn syrup, ensuring to scrape it out of the measuring cup.

Mix in 1 cup of quick cooking oats, 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined, breaking the eggs first.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Sprinkle 1 cup of sweetened coconut on top, spreading it evenly and breaking up any clumps.

Carefully carry the pie to the oven to avoid spilling the liquid filling.

Bake the pie in the oven for 65 minutes, checking with a cake tester to ensure it comes out clean.

If the edges of the pie crust get too dark, cover them towards the end of baking (though this creator did not need to).

After baking, the creator realized they forgot to add vanilla extract, so they took the pie out, stirred in the vanilla, and returned it to the oven.
