Strawberry Crumble Pie
Description
The Strawberry Crumble Pie starts with a deep-dish frozen pie crust filled with a mixture of sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a thickener such as Instant ClearJel or alternatives like cornstarch or tapioca flour. The use of lemon juice brightens the berry flavor and balances the sweetness. The crumble topping is made by cutting cold butter into a blend of all-purpose flour, white sugar, and brown sugar until coarse crumbs form, giving the topping a mix of crisp and chewy textures after baking.
During baking, the pie is initially cooked at 400°F to set the filling and then lowered to 375°F to tenderize the berries and brown the crumble without burning. The result is a juicy berry filling thick enough to hold its shape when sliced and a browned, crunchy topping that complements the soft crust and fruit.
Cool the pie completely before slicing to allow the filling to set further. This strawberry pie pairs well with simple whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

- If you like, carefully remove the frozen pie crust from its tin and put it into your own pie dish. Set the dish on a baking sheet to catch any dripping juices.
