- 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
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!
