  1. In a 9x9 round baking pan, place the pre-made pie crust and press down to mold it to the pan.
  2. Place your fruit of choice evenly around the bottom of the pan. For fruit like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and cherries just rinse and dry the fruit. For fruit like pears, apples, and plums, you will want to wash, core, and slice the fruit, and peel if you prefer.
  3. In a large bowl mix the milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and flour together. Then pour evenly over fruit and crust.
  4. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until an inserted fork comes out clean.
