Crazy Pie*

By jann

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 1 Cup Flour
• 2 Tbsp Sugar (Splenda or Sugar Twin)
• 1 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 3/4 C Water
• 2/3 C margarine or shortening (maybe use fat free sour cream instead)
• 1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
• 1 can Cherry Pie Filling (either 20 or 21 ounce works fine)

Preparation

Step 1

Crust: No need to shift flour. Combine all in small mixing bowl at low
speed. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Spread batter in 10 inch or 9 inch
deep dish pie pan. Carefully spoon filling into center of batter. Do not
stir. Bake at 425 for 40 - 45 minutes until crust is golden brown.

Baking a Crazy Pie in the Ninja .... Low Sugar Recipe. The recipe below works in a regular oven too. I used Splenda and No Sugar Added Pie Filling. Have made this before and was a hit. Tonight I'm trying it in the Ninja for the first time. With the Ninja, I put it in the multi-purpose pan on the roasting rack. Am not steam baking it in the Ninja, just using the OVEN feature. Fingers crossed it will be good too. In the Ninja, only the parts that touch the pan (bottom and side) will brown. Top will remain white.

NOTES: DO NOT open the lid during the baking cycle. It is a cake and could fall. Wait till the end to check. Also a reminder to tip the lid to the side when you open so the moisture doesn't fall into the cake/pie.

Perfect .... now to let it cool. Here's the finished Crazy Pie. If you make it, you could add cool whip, whipped cream, ice cream or even it plain. I am going to store the leftovers in the fridge. Even in the Ninja the top browned a bit because of the butter. When you test this with a toothpick, go into the corners as there is more cake to test. Also because I didn't add water to the base pot/main cooking pot, there was no steam on the lid to worry about. This comes out of the oven sizzling and I mean sizzling .... be extremely careful when you remove it.

Hubby just gave it a thumbs up. He had some that was warm, not hot. The sides and bottom are a golden brown. 40 minutes was perfect.

I didn't have any last night, so decided to have a piece for breakfast (milk, eggs, flour, fruit - perfect combo - LOL). Reheated a piece in the micro for 15 seconds just to warm it a bit as it had been in the fridge all night. YUMMMMM.

Any flavor will work with this.
