    Strawberry Pie with Crumb Topping and Almond Whipped Cream - Andrea Meyers

    May is only a few weeks away, the start of farmers market season, and I am very excited. Our new home is in an area with quite a few pick your own farms, farmers markets, and roadside stands, and we're really looking forward to checking them out, especially with strawberry season looming. In the meantime, Wegmans has early strawberries on sale this week, and they were so nice that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a pie for Michael.

    This strawberry crumb pie recipe is inspired by his mom's French Apple Pie, which has sliced apples piled high and a beautiful crumb topping. My oldest son saw how high the strawberries were piled in the crust and proclaimed it "The Great Pie" after the pie in the Backyardigans episode "Samurai Pie."

    I like to think of this as a lazy strawberry pie since the strawberries are hulled and put in whole and the crumb topping is so easy. The almond whipped cream is also very easy and adds a nice touch of flavor.

    Equipment

    • food processor
    • medium bowl
    • large mixing bowl
    • 9-inch pie plate
    • stand mixer with wire whisk attachment

    Ingredients

    • pastry for single crust pie

    Crumb Topping

    • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup packed brown sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ½ cup unsalted butter (cut into 8 pieces)

    Strawberry Filling

    • 2 pounds fresh strawberries (cleaned and hulled)
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
    • ⅓ cup cornstarch

    Almond Whipped Cream

    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar (sifted (or more to taste))
    • ½ teaspoon almond extract
    US Customary - Metric

    Preparation

    • Prepare the pie crust and put in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
    • Move the baking rack to the lower third part of the oven and preheat to 400° F/200° C..
    • Put all the ingredients for the crumb topping into the bowl of the food processor and pulse about 10 times, until the mixture is crumbly. Put in a bowl in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
    • Roll out the chilled pie dough and place in 9-inch pie pan. Decorate the edges as you like, and chill in the pan for about 20 to 30 minutes.
    • Clean and hull the strawberries, then gently blot dry with a paper towel. In the medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and cornstarch. Put the berries into the large bowl and using your hands, gently toss with the sugar, flour, and cornstarch. Be careful not to mash the berries. Mound the strawberries high in the middle of the pie pan and sprinkle the crumb topping all over. Cover the crust edges with tin foil to prevent burning.
    • Bake pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375° F/190° C and bake for another 40 minutes. When there are just 10 minutes of baking time left, sprinkle a little extra sugar over crumb topping and then finish baking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a rack.

    Almond Whipped Cream

    • Chill the bowl and wire whisk attachment in the frig before preparing. Add the whipping cream to the chilled bowl and whip until it starts to hold its shape. Add the sugar and almond extract and whip until you have soft peaks, not too stiff.
    • Slice the pie and serve with dollops of the whipped cream.

      This looks so yummy, the strawberry season is over here now... I'll have to wait for the apple pie recipe... The crust recipe seems great. My kids also watch Backyardigans here in Brazil, what a globalized world we live in. 🙂
