Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter – Adds richness and flavor to the batter.
  • 1 cup self-rising flour – Provides structure and lift. If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the batter.
  • 1 cup milk – Creates a smooth pourable batter.
  • 1 12 oz can fruit pie filling – Cherry, apple, peach, blueberry, or any fruit you love.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Melt the butter and pour it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and milk until smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pie dish. Do not stir.
  • Spoon the fruit pie filling evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use any fruit pie filling you prefer.
  • For a richer taste, serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
