Fresh Strawberry Pie

It’s not summer unless someone in my family makes this Fresh Strawberry Pie recipe. It’s a simple yet delightful combination of flaky pie crust and fresh strawberries. I top it with delicate Creme Anglaise and whipped cream, this dessert is so easy to make and always turns out special.  

What You Will Need

Recommended Kitchen Tools( Amazon)

Pyrex Pie Plate. This is a great pie plate, especially when par baking and blind baking pie crust.

Pastry Blender. How you want to cut fat into flour is a personal preference. I prefer to use my hands, but many cooks love this kitchen tool. Pastry blenders work great for pie crust, but it is not a tool for biscuits or rough puff pastry.

Make it Vegan
