Easy Brownie Pie-taking brownies to the next level and creating an easy dessert-a flaky pie crust surrounds a rich brownie with a thin crust on top and in the middle a gooey, fudgy delight!
This time of year seems to be all about pies. Pumpkin Pies, Apple Pies. Pie is always present at holiday gatherings. I’m not a big pie maker. Mainly because my crusts never look pretty.
And then when I slice it, especially, that first slice, it looks like the slice when through a wood chipper.
Pies are hard for me.
But pie is expected. So I cheat. I use the refrigerated pie crust. Yes, I have a great recipe for pie crust, made with butter, it comes out flaky and tender. But this is just easier.
And I’m all for easy. Feel free to make a scratch pie crust if you want. I won’t judge you. I promise.
Besides, it’s what’s inside that counts. Ooey, gooey, fudgy brownie deliciousness. And that thin crisp top coat brownies are famous for. That’s what really matters.
Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some fresh whipped cream or even Cool Whip. I won’t judge you. It’s all about the easy, and the delicious!

Joan,
Your chocolate recipes always make my mouth water. Love this brownie recipe.
My pie crusts don’t look perfect either but I’ve taken to using my ultimate crumb recipe for top and bottom crusts. The first piece for any pie is always a disaster.
