With the oven still on the fritz I’ve been adapting my favorite recipes to use in the toaster oven. This summery fruity favorite works in the smaller oven because it is shallow – almost tart like. If you make your own crust you can bake it in a 9 x 9 ” pan instead of a pie plate. If you have some juicy oranges available, use the zest and juice of one orange instead of the juice in the fridge.

Notes:

Of course you can bake this in your own oven. You would probably want to use a pie crust shield but that’s the only adaptation you would need.
