Strawberry Pie!

Pretty much ever since Cory and I have had a kitchen, I have been dying to make a pie! So finally, Cory and I went to look at pie filling. It was ridiculous how expensive they were! We ended up buying fresh strawberries and right when we got home I went straight for the computer to look up recipes for strawberry pie. But I wanted to bake it. Needless to say, my first pie was a success!

The pie was a bit runny and a little too sweet, but that's not that bad. So, I will be sharing the original recipe, and then put down what people have said to do to fix the runnyness and stuff... if that makes sense...

First, the pie crust recipe I used:

1 cup and 2 TBS of flour

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup oil

Blend with fork

Add 2 TBS water

mix till it sticks together (should be hard to mold and keep together)

Form a ball and put between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll with rolling pin.

To keep the dough from sticking to wax paper, lift up wax paper, put back, flip over whole thing and lift the wax paper on other side...

You will want to repeat this recipe for the top crust. The hardest part I had was laying the crust over my pie pan. Cory helped me shift it around, so you might want a good helper to help. :)

Second, the delicious pie!

1-1/4 cups white sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cups fresh strawberries

2 tablespoons butter

1.) Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F

place one of the crusts into bottom of pie pan.

2.)In a medium-large bowl mix sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Lightly mix in the strawberries. Pour filling into pastry lined pan and dot fruit with butter. Cover with top crust, cut slits on the top. Seal and flute the edges.

3.) Bake for 35- 45 min, or until crust is slightly browned.

Like I said, it will come out a little runny. So this is what was suggested. I haven't tested it yet, but I will. Never you worry.

They all pretty much say that. If you try it before me, let me know how it turns out! But that's it. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned. Remember God loves you!
