Instructions
Preheat the Oven & Melt Butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in an 8×8-inch casserole dish and allow it to melt in the oven while preheating. This creates a rich, buttery base for the pie.
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Pie
Carefully remove the dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the butter—do not stir. The batter will float and bake into a crisp, golden crust.
Add the Fruit Filling
Spoon the fruit pie filling evenly over the batter. As the pie bakes, the filling will sink slightly, creating delicious layers of crust and fruit.
Bake to Perfection
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully set.
Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
Classic Style – Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
With a Drizzle – Add a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for a richer taste.
Crunchy Twist – Sprinkle chopped nuts or toasted coconut on top for texture.
Spiced Up – Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth.
