- Scrape one-third of the batter into prepared pan; spoon half of the pie filling over top. Using butter knife, swirl gently to create marbled effect. Top with another one-third of the batter; spoon remaining pie filling over top. Swirl with butter knife. Scrape remaining batter over top, spreading to edges.
