i always err on the side of easy so store bought dough is A-OK with me, but since this is sooo easy, i’m thinking next time i want to try making the dough and maybe trying a fruit pairing too.
ingredients
1 9-inch refrigerated pie crust
filling:
2 cups strawberries (hulled and halved)
3 tb turbinado sugar (coarse sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract
lemon juice
2-3 tb flour
Dough Topping:
1 egg (whisked)
more turbinado sugar
recipe
(adapted from platings and pairings)
preheat oven to 375 degrees
in a large bowl, gently combine strawberries with sugar, vanilla and 2 tbsp. flour and some lemon juice. add additional flour if the mixture is very wet.
gently unfold and lay out the pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
pour your strawberry mixture in the center of the crust leaving a 2-inch border. fold up the uncovered border over the edge of the fruit and pinch into pleats
brush the egg onto the crust and sprinkle with sugar.
bake until strawberries are softened and the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. remove from oven, let sit for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
