Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) fruit pie filling
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 cup (120 grams) self-rising flour
Dairy and Fat:
- 1 stick (113 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C), preparing a foundational environment for the pie’s transformation.
- Position the butter stick directly into an 8×8 casserole dish, allowing it to liquify while the oven heats.
- Craft a silky batter by thoroughly blending self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until achieving a uniformly smooth consistency.
- Extract the casserole dish with its molten butter, then delicately cascade the flour mixture across the melted foundation.
- Carefully distribute fruit pie filling atop the batter, maintaining a gentle touch and resisting any urge to stir or mix layers.
- Transfer the prepared dish into the preheated oven, allowing the pie to bake approximately 30-35 minutes until the surface transforms into a golden, effervescent landscape.
- After removing from the oven, permit the pie to settle and cool for 10-15 minutes, enabling structural integrity and enhanced flavor development.
- Serve the pie warm or at ambient temperature, embracing its rustic, comforting essence.
Notes
- Melting butter directly in the baking dish creates a crispy, golden crust that adds delightful texture and rich flavor to the pie.
- Swap traditional pie filling with fresh or frozen berries, peaches, or apple compote to customize the dessert according to seasonal availability or personal preference.
- Replace self-rising flour with a gluten-free alternative like almond or coconut flour mixed with baking powder to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Enhance the pie’s appeal by topping with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate its rustic charm and provide an extra layer of indulgence.
