This pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like it came from the oven while being cooked entirely on the stovetop. It is an excellent choice for hot summer days, camping with a gas burner, vacation rentals, or any time you want a homemade meal without heating the entire kitchen. I also like that the batter is neutral enough to work with almost any savory filling, making it a recipe you'll come back to again and again.

Feel free to customize this recipe by adding ingredients like thinly sliced green onions, bell peppers, or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Life is full of tough decisions, like choosing between a juicy apple and a slice of apple pie – but why not have both and call it balanced fruitrition!
