Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. You can also substitute half of the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper sweetness. If you're short on time, a store-bought pie crust can be used for a quicker base. This dish is quite versatile; adding fresh or frozen fruit can elevate it further. For a twist, try serving it with Homemade (Low-Fat) Ice Cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. For an added crunch, a sprinkle of chopped nuts can enhance the texture. It pairs beautifully with Deep Dish Streusel Apple Pie for a dessert spread. Consider adding a side of fresh berries to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. If reheating in the oven, cover with foil to keep it from drying out.
