The recipe uses fresh fruit, baking mix, and easy pantry ingredients and has a streusel topping much like a Dutch Apple Pie with cinnamon spice flavors.
I remember mom always having the box of baking mix out and knew immediately we were getting a fresh fruit pie from our apple tree.
The combination of fruit pie is endless and if you're a rhubarb lover don't hesitate to try this with that summer delight!
We also had a blueberry bush, a boysenberry bush, and a peach tree, so we dabbled in many combinations with apples and berries mixed together and had a different pie every time she baked it.
This is a recipe adapted from the Bisquick baking mix, although you can use any generic brand, we added to that basic recipe and came up with our own version.
If you're not much of a fruit pie lover, we also include an "Impossible Pumpkin Pie" recipe all in one pie plate and that crazy crust bakes right in that one also plus we also make Savory Impossible Pies you may like to try!

Impossible Fruit Pie
This pie is great all year round and if you have unexpected company you can throw this delicious pie with any combination of fruits together quickly.
The baking time varies but usually takes at least an hour to set aside to get the middle set, the pie is awesome with your favorite ice cream and a caramel topping.
You can mix and match fruits and prepare the topping to whatever you desire this recipe is super adaptable however always blot dry with paper towels when it's a very juicy style fruit like pineapple.
You can even separate the fruit and batter and make two small pies instead of one big one!
