when I used to cook (!) I always made deep dish pies this way. You can also use fresh fruit.

Delicious and so easy. No rolling out anything - well, I never did roll out a pie crust (after my first try) anyhow, they come in packages and in the cold section of the store. I worked always and quick and easy is my motto.

Looks like 3/4 cup of sugar. she must of left off the 4

 

[hensylee]

yes 3/4 c is right. There is always added sugar in the canned filling. I use 1 cup of sugar when using fresh fruit (which also has sugar!). So 3/4 or 1, depending on your sweet tooth.

I AM SORRY THE RECIPE SHOULD READ3/4 CUP SUGAR

Another question - it says buttermilk if regular flour is used. Does that mean use regular milk if using self rising flour?

 

[Karlynn]

So you melt the butter in the dish you are going to bake in.

You pour the fruit into the center of the dish - you don't bother spreading it out? Or do you cover the fruit with dough?

I'm just a bit unclear and the recipe sounds really good. Just want to make sure I do it right.

 

[hensylee]

regular milk w/self rising
buttermilk w/plain flour

when you melt butter in pan, mix in the flour ingredients with it, spread over bottom of pan, then pour your fruit/filling evenly over the flour mix. Bake. The crust rises to the top and as it's baked, crust is what you will see first when you take it out of the oven. delicious - also delicious when warm (or not) w/ice cream

Thanks for answering all the questions. I am still sick and always benefit from comfort food. Chris is bringing home stuff tonight to try this.

So - if you use buttermilk with self-rising flour - will your oven explode?

Harry - could you try this with fresh fruit and splenda (the kind for baking) or is white flour a no-no for you?

 

[hensylee]

If you use buttermilk w/the self rising, let us know what happened.

Did you enjoy it?

This recipe can be done w/o sugar for other dishes - like a hamburger pie or any casserole you'd like with a top on it.

I would have to try it with Aspertame....

I have tried and tried to get used to the taste of splenda, but I never could....I would try it with Equal though....thanks for the idea Gina... Harrybaby

I think the only problem you might have with using Equal is the browning process. My understanding is Splenda for baking acts just like sugar in that respect. However - anything is worth a try. Hope it works out for you.

In our neck of the woods this recipe is called a dump cake. Very easy to make and I've seen many variations of it. One I really liked was using the canned apples and adding lots of cinnamon to the batter.

Years ago when I had to cook. ..It was the 1-1-1 thing....I cup of self-rising flour..1 cup of milk..1 cup of sugar....mix and put in greased pan (butter)..and dump any fruit..I always used fresh apples.peeled..on top. sounds funny..but cook for an hour..Fruit falls thru batter..I'm thinking 350 degrees?..Need to try it again for Hubby. he is a sweet man Bonnie

Dump Cake

Dump Cake

Here's my dump cake:

1 lg can crushed pineapple
1 yellow cake mix
chopped nuts
2 sticks butter (or real margarine)
1 can apple pie filling

Do not grease 9 X 13 pan. Dump pineapple & pie filling in pan. Cover w/cake mix. Add chopped nuts. Chop up butter and spread on top. Bake 375 approximately 1 hr.

The one we have from Letitia is called Crazy Crust. In the beginning the crazy crust used hamburger (no sugar, of course) and blossomed out to other recipes as the Crazy Crust Pie shows.

Then, of course, there's the punch bowl cake.
