Grandma’s pie—only microwaved!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pkg (14.1 oz/399 g) refrigerated pie crust (1 crust), chilled

Remove pie crust from package; do not unroll. Cut pie crust in half crosswise. Cut pie crust halves lengthwise into four pieces and finely dice. Place in Round Covered Baker.
Sprinkle ½ tsp (2 mL) of the cinnamon over the diced pie crust and mix gently. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 4-6 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring halfway through cooking with Small Mix ‘N Scraper®. Spread half of the pie crust over Parchment Paper to cool.

Cook's Tips:
For best results, do not soften pie crust.
One 29 oz (796 mL) can of drained sliced peaches can be substituted for the frozen peaches, if desired.
If desired, 1¼ lbs (575 g) medium fresh ripe peaches, sliced, be substituted for the frozen peaches. In Step 4, increase microwave time to 7-9 minutes.
This recipe can be doubled in the Deep Covered Baker. Double the amount of ingredients. In Step 2, increase microwave time to 8-10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. In Step 4, increase microwave time to 9-11 minutes. Proceed with recipe.
