Recipe by The View From the Great Island

Strawberry Crumble Pie ~ this simple pie is bursting with ripe juicy strawberries and makes the ultimate springtime dessert!

Ingredients

• 1 single frozen pie crust ( do not thaw)
• filling
• 1½ pounds strawberries (washed and sliced)
• ½ cup sugar
• Lemon juiced
• 4 tbsp cornstarch
• crumble topping
• ¾ cups flour

• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 6 tbsp cold butter ( cut in small pieces )

Method

1. Set oven to 400F
2. Toss the strawberries with the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.
3. Make the crumble topping by cutting the butter into the flour and sugars. Use your fingertips or two forks to blend it all together until it becomes coarse crumbles.
4. If you like, carefully remove the frozen pie crust from its tin and put it into your own pie dish. Set the dish on a baking sheet to catch any dripping juices.
5. Transfer the berries to the pie crust, but leave any extra juices behind. Mound them in the center of the pie and top with the crumble mixture.
6. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 375F for another 40 minutes, or until the top is browned and the juices are bubbling.
7. Let cool completely before slicing.
