Ingredients
  

  • Flour: 1 cup
  • Sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Butter or margarine softened: 1/2 cup
  • Milk: 3/4 cup
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Fruit pie filling: 1 21 oz. can (apple, cherry, peach, blueberry, blackberry, etc.)
  • Sugar or cinnamon-sugar: For sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven : Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or pie pan.
  • Make the Crazy Crust : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth; the batter will be thin, similar to pancake batter.
  • Pour the Batter : Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Add the Fruit Filling : Spoon the fruit pie filling evenly over the batter. Do not stir—during baking, the crust will rise up around the filling.
  • Sprinkle with Sugar : Lightly sprinkle the top with sugar or cinnamon-sugar for extra sweetness and crunch.
  • Bake the Pie : Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • Serve and Enjoy : Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat!
