Recipe Details

Creating the perfect Strawberry Pie requires a careful balance of flavors and textures. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you recreate this culinary masterpiece in your own kitchen:

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
• 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• For the Filling:
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Topping:
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the crust:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the cold and cubed butter into the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Sprinkle ice water over the mixture and gently mix until the dough comes together.
4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the filling:
1. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the strawberries are evenly coated.
4. Assemble the pie:
1. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish.
2. Transfer the dough to the dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides.
3. Pour the strawberry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Prepare the topping:
1. In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
2. Sprinkle the topping over the strawberry filling.
6. Bake the pie:
1. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Cool and serve:
1. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
2. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Make It Your Own

While our recipe provides a solid foundation for a delicious gluten-free Strawberry Pie, feel free to add your own personal touch to make it truly unique. Here are some suggestions:

• Add a hint of citrus: Enhance the flavor profile of your pie by incorporating a zest of lemon or orange into the filling.
• Sprinkle with almonds: For a delightful crunch, top your pie with a handful of sliced almonds before baking.
• Play with spices: Experiment with different spices such as ginger or nutmeg to add an extra layer of complexity to the taste.
• Swap the crust: If you prefer a different gluten-free crust, such as almond flour or coconut flour, go ahead and make the switch! Just ensure the crust complements the strawberry filling.
