Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 ounces) fruit pie filling (cherry, apple, or blueberry)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 375F (190C) and coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Incorporate melted butter, milk, and egg into the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter achieves a thick, slightly lumpy consistency.
- Transfer the batter into the greased pie plate, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a complete coverage along the bottom and sides.
- Carefully pour the fruit filling into the center of the prepared crust, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
- Generously dust the surface with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, ensuring an even distribution for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling fruit filling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
- Slice and serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Experiment with different fruit fillings like apple, peach, or berry to customize the pie to your taste preferences.
- Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version of the dessert.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the batter for extra crunch and texture.
- Reduce sugar content by using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a healthier alternative.
