Our easy pour over pie crust recipe takes 5 minutes to prepare with self rising flour, milk, sugar and vanilla. You can pour over the top of apple or cherry pie filling to make a killer dessert in minutes.

This 4 ingredient pie crust has been so popular with our upside down cherry pie that we thought we'd share it again. We wanted to show you how easy the crust is and that you can use it with any flavor you like. Blueberry, cherry and apple are great too.

this takes 5 minutes to prepare. If you are in need of treat after making pot pie crust for dinner this is the answer. When we are craving something sweet but have little to no energy to bake, we make a batch of this!

Now that we have teenagers in the house they can almost make this with their eyes closed. We don't know why we never thought about creating a post about this all these years ago but we've been busy. Like having 3 kids, moving 4 times in 4 years, and yes blogging full time let's say we can be forgetful.

Ingredient notes

For this sweeter one you need self rising flourNOT all purpose! Milk or dairy free or lactose free milk sugar and a bit of vanilla. We have a printable recipe card at the bottom of here. Choose your fruit of choice and get started with your 9 inch pie plate and get started.

Sweet Filling

If we want to go all out during the summertime when we have a ton of apples on hand, we will make homemade apple pie filling. Let us tell you that it is super simple and fresh is always best. Up to you entirely.

Savory Filling

For a savory pour over the top pie crust you would whisk together; 1 cup of bisquick + 1 egg + 1/2 c milk or dairy free alternative. We did this with our Bisquick chicken pot pie here. That is one of our 3 ingredient pie crust recipes that is great with chicken and veggies inside. Best thing to make a fun meal is to bake both!

Let's talk about all the different pie fillings shall we? Most times we will buy whatever is on sale. We've used store brands like you see here, name brands if they happen to be cheaper, it's versatile. Comstock from Duncan Hines is a popular one out there with a ton of different varieties.

There are three things to do; preheat your oven, pour in filling, top with batter for pie crust. Okay so if you think a crust has to be on the bottom that is not true, and it's better on top. Think about it, you'll get it all bubbly and golden browned. The sugar crystalizes in a sense and creates this OMG texture too.

You can see how we did this with cherry and apple too, then we thought about how we needed to get this written down in a post for all y'all. Our cans are typically 21 ounces full, you can make your own homemade blueberry pie filling too. If you had a bit more than that you would be fine too. Use a regular round pie pan and your best bet is to spray the inside so it slides out.

Tips

Do NOT expect this to cleanly slice, it won't. Instead use a serving spoon to scoop our your servings. If you use the measurements below you won't find the need for more sweetness. You could cut down the sugar to as low as 1/2 cup or pair down to 3/4 even. We tried it several ways throughout the years and we like sweet.
