Ok, so it doesn't look that great. However, it was SO AWESOME!!! Obviously could have used more dough on top. Will make it prettier next time. This pie was eaten in about a 24 hour period. It was THAT good =)
Just any pie dough recipe will do. The filling is 5 cups cut strawberries, 1/4 cup flour, 2/3 to 1 cup sugar. bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then 350 for 35-40 minutes until brown.
I'm thinking of switching out a little bit of the sugar for brown sugar next time to see what it does!
That looks delish, Kate! And everything always tastes better when little hands help make it :)
As for the sugar...if you sub in brown, I would assume that it would go more gooey, and the colour would take on more of a caramel colour. You could always try raw sugar, and you can sub with whole wheat flour! I've been doing that a lot lately, whenever a recipe calls for flour I use ww instead of white. It sometimes gives a bit of a "nutty" flavour though, so I guess it might change the taste of the pie a bit... I'm surprised it lasted through a whole 24hrs! It wouldn't stand a chance in my house ;) Which is why I haven't been baking quite so often lately!
I might be ok with a more gooey center. this one was super liquidy. Good, but too liquidy for me I think.
I use whole wheat flour a lot too. Love it!
I've been trying not to bake desserts too much either, nothing ever lasts. Last time I made cookies I froze some of them, hoping to make them last longer... instead I ate frozen cookies. OOPS.
