Brownie Pie
This brownie pie is absolutely delicious! You may know that I am a huge fan of both brownies and pies so combining the two is naturally something that I fully support. It’s a great alternative to making brownies and there is just something about biting into a big bite of the brownie filling that is just so satisfying. With a crisp outside and a soft and gooey inside, it is a great mix of textures and flavors.
