Strawberry Crumble Pie for Every Occasion

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, egg, and a pinch of salt. Using your hands or a stand mixer, mix until the ingredients come together to form a crumbly texture.

Once combined, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to harden slightly. This will help with grating the dough later.

While the dough chills, prepare the berry filling. In a separate bowl, mix the hulled strawberries with cornstarch and sugar. Make sure the strawberries are evenly coated to maintain a good texture during baking.

You can use other berries if you prefer; just ensure they are well mixed with the cornstarch and sugar for balance.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Once the dough has chilled, take it out of the freezer and grate about two-thirds of it over the bottom of a baking tray or pie pan, creating a uniform layer.

Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the grated dough, then take the remaining grated dough and sprinkle it on top of the filling, ensuring it covers the berries well.

Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

After baking, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing for the best texture and flavor.
