For some reason, pies make me nervous to make. They have this aura about them that I rarely try to accomplish, so when I heard about this super simple brownie pie, I jumped at the chance to try it because I am a newbie and need something easy to start my pie baking journey. This recipe is for the lazy baker and uses boxed mixes, pre-made crusts and ready to enjoy ice cream.

Newbie baker note: My pre-made graham cracker pie crust broke into a bunch of pieces so had to make an urgent trip to the grocery store and picked up a few extras just in case. Highly recommend having two pre-made crusts ready so you don’t make this mistake!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare the pie crust in a 9 inch pie dish. Set aside.
2. Prepare the brownie mix according to directions and pour into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the pie crust is golden and a knife inserted into the brownie pie comes out mostly clean. Set aside to cool.
