Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the mixture over sweetened fruit.
- Bake at 450°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting whole milk or cream for the half and half. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia in a 1:1 ratio. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise, and allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes before pouring it over the fruit for even distribution.
Serving Suggestions
This pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. You can serve it alongside a fresh salad like Green Beans With Sunflower Seeds for a balanced meal. It also makes a lovely dessert for gatherings, so consider it for your next dinner party.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the crust soggy. Enjoy leftovers chilled or reheated for a delightful treat.
