Ingredients

(Exact measurements may vary depending on your preferred fruit; here’s a general guide.)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 cups fruit of choice (berries, peaches, apples, cherries, etc.)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Fruit

Wash, peel, and slice fruit if needed. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or pie dish.
Pour the batter into the dish.
Evenly arrange the fruit on top — the batter will rise and form a crust as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
