EASY Strawberry CRUMB PIE image

I found this recipe on the internet actually as a cherry pie to begin with. Then I tweaked it to my own style and made it strawberry instead. You can also use blueberry instead of strawberry according to this recipe. Either way, it comes out tasting like a strawberry or blueberry poptart! Heat it up and add a scoop of vanilla ice...

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pie crust recipe; search "buttery flakey pie crust"
2 can(s) strawberry pie filling
1 1/3 c sugar
1/4 c flour
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
CRUMB TOPPING:
1 stick butter, no substitutes
1 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp "sugar in the raw" sugar cain (opt.)

Steps:

  • 1. Drain both cans of strawberries; set a colander on top of another bowl so excess juice can drain into the bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup strawberry juice.
  • 2. Make sure pie crust is prepared and set inside pie plate. Evenly distribute strained strawberries into crust.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup reserved juice, 1 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour and vanilla. Heat to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk; boil 2 min.
  • 4. Pour sugar mixture over the strawberries.
  • 5. In another bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter. Use a pasty cutter or fork to mix until pea sized balls form.
  • 6. Spread crumb mixture on top of the sugar mixture. Top with "Sugar in the Raw" if you would like. It gives it a nice sparkle; its good for looks.
  • 7. Bake 35-40mins at 425 degrees. (I do recomend covering the crust with foil to avoid burning.) Cool completely before serving.
