Crazy Crust Pie is a unique dessert where the crust forms as it bakes. A batter made from flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, milk, and egg serves as the base. Fruit pie filling is poured into the center, leaving a border. Optional sugar or cinnamon-sugar can be sprinkled on top. After baking, the result is a delightful blend of soft, cake-like texture and fruity sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 can (21 oz.) fruit pie filling (e.g., apple, cherry, peach, blueberry, blackberry)

Instructions:
