As it bakes, a nice cakey version of a crust forms around the edges, while your favorite filling becomes warm and aromatic and tender. A little bit like cake, but still very much like pie, Crazy Crust Pie satisfies that pie craving with only five minutes of effort on your part.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 can (21 oz) fruit pie filling (apple, cherry, peach, blueberry, blackberry, etc.)
Sugar, for dusting
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375ยฐF and grease a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and mix, then flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk gradually, mixing until well combined.
Pour batter into prepared pie plate and pour pie filling into the center of batter. (Donโt let it spread out further than 1-inch from the edge.)
Sprinkle top evenly with sugar and bake until edges are browned and dough is set, 35-40 minutes.
