Fresh Strawberry Pie with Special Shortbread Crust image

Most fresh strawberry pies call for a regular pie pastry or a graham cracker crust. This crust is similar to shortbread and complements the fresh strawberries wonderfully! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! My mom would make this pie every summer, and it was gone before you could blink, it's THAT good!

BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD CRUMBLE

Provided by frozen_rain

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 squares, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1/4 cup icing sugar
1 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 (600 g) package unsweetened frozen blueberries or 2 1/2-3 cups fresh blueberries
butter
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour and sugar together. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into a 10-inch pie plate or a 10-inch springform pan. Press dough up sides approximately 1 inch.
  • Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Filling:.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar and quickly toss with blueberries. As soon as crust is out of oven, fill crust with blueberry mixture. Dot with butter and cover with topping.
  • Topping:.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and sprinkle on top of blueberries.
  • Bake at 400F for 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe blueberries. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Be sure to wash the blueberries thoroughly before using them.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the shortbread crust by hand. Simply mix the flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Then, use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 15 minutes.
  • If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it.
  • When filling the pie, be sure to leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges. This will allow the pie to expand as it bakes.
  • To make the egg wash, simply whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl.
  • Brush the egg wash over the top crust of the pie before baking. This will help the crust to brown and give it a shiny finish.
  • The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Conclusion:

This blueberry pie with shortbread crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The shortbread crust is flaky and buttery, while the blueberry filling is sweet and tart. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
