  • 1/4-1/2 cup ice water
• Filling:
  • 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Difficulty Level:

• 2 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. To make the pie crust, combine flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Fit into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Trim the edges and flute.
4. To make the filling, combine strawberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
7. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
• Don't overmix the dough. Overworking will make the crust tough.
• If you don't have a rolling pin, you can press the dough into the pie plate using your fingers.
• Don't overbake the pie. The filling should be set but not dry.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
