Step 3: Add the Fruit
Evenly layer your chosen fruit on the bottom of the pie crust. Then pour the creamy mixture over the fruit, ensuring it spreads evenly. The sweetened condensed milk will set into a soft, custard-like filling as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 35–45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. You can test the center with a knife—it should come out mostly clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. This makes slicing easier and ensures the filling is perfectly set. For an extra indulgent touch, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Success
- Fruit Choice: Stupid Pie is versatile. Apples and berries make it fruity and slightly tart, while peaches or pears give a sweeter, softer bite.
- No Pie Crust? You can make this as a “crustless stupid pie” by pouring the filling directly into a greased pie dish or casserole dish.
- Make-Ahead: This pie can be made a day ahead. Just store it in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before serving.
Why It’s Called Stupid Pie
