Strawberry pie. Can you smell those luscious strawberries? I mean they are such a gorgeous red that you should be able to sniff the screen!

When I was a teenager there was a local chain restaurant that was famous for their strawberry pies.  I loved being able to eat a piece of strawberry pie anytime of the year.  Heaven help us, I can only imagine what type of preservatives were in the strawberries, (shuddering now).  Anyway, skip to present day.  I was wanting some strawberry pie during this strawberry season, but was having a difficult time figuring out what to do for a gluten free crust.  I have never made a pie crust from scratch in my life, but it is definitely on my to do list in the not too distant future.

But I needed a pie crust NOW.  I found a frozen one at my local Earth Fare and decided to try it.  This pie was SO good; it really hit the spot.  The strawberries were sweetened to perfection, the crust was very good (not as flaky as grandmom’s but still tasted good).

The next time I make this pie I will definitely use a made from scratch crust but will use the same filling.  Too bad I have to wait until next spring for fresh strawberries!
