“Chef John of Allrecipes says this is “One of the most delicious and easiest pie recipes I know.” I attest to that fact! NO mixer needed!
It is SO easy and SO good! Everyone loves it!
You can vary the fruit too, just keep it to 4 cups. Also pictured is a version I made of apples, peaches, strawberries and rhubarb. You can try any fresh fruit or berries. The custard with the fruit works perfectly the same.
9-inch pie plates vary sometimes in their shape with the diameter 9 inches, but the sides are more spread out. If the sides of the pie plate are wider than the standard 9-inch, the 1 hour baking time works perfectly. For a standard, higher edged pie plate, then bake it a little longer, until the filling does not shake. You can see from the various times I’ve made this in the sld that I’ve made this, I use different 9-inch pie plates. My preference is the one with wider sides.
See pictures how easy it is to make in the slideshow below.
Enjoy!”
