🥧✨ Hillbilly Pie (Poor Man's Pie)
A simple, comforting dessert that’s easy to make and oh-so-delicious. Perfect for when you want a homemade treat with minimal effort!

🛒 Ingredients:

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1 (12 oz) can fruit pie filling (cherry, apple, peach, or your favorite)
🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in an 8x8-inch casserole dish and let it melt in the oven while preheating.

2️⃣ Mix the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until smooth.

3️⃣ Assemble the Pie:
Remove the casserole dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the butter—do not stir!

4️⃣ Add the Filling:
Spoon the fruit pie filling evenly over the batter. The filling will sink slightly as it bakes, creating delicious layers.

5️⃣ Bake:
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

6️⃣ Cool and Serve:
Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, either on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Servings: 6–8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
