Old Boy's Strawberry Crumb Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Position a baking tray on the lowest oven rack to collect any juices that may spill over during cooking.
3
Press the pie crust into a 9-inch round baking dish, making sure it's evenly spread and flat.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 6 tablespoons of softened butter until you achieve a smooth consistency; set the mixture aside for later use.
5
Add fresh strawberries to a large bowl and gently combine them with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of cornstarch in another bowl.
6
Take the strawberries and mix them with their sugar mixture, stirring carefully to avoid damaging the delicate berries.
7
Carefully pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, creating a mound in the center as the berries will sink during baking.
8
Cover the strawberries with the sugar mixture you set aside earlier, topping them off with about 15 small pieces of butter.
9
Fold the edges of the pie crust over to prevent burning, and secure them with aluminum foil.
10
Bake the pie in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes.
11
With 10 minutes remaining in the baking time, sprinkle a small amount of extra sugar over the crumb topping to add an extra touch of sweetness.
12
Finally, complete the baking process and enjoy your delicious homemade pie.
