Description
A delightful and easy-to-make pie full of fresh strawberries and without a crust, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
- ½ to 1 teaspoon almond extract, or to taste
- 2 cups plus 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, divided, halved or quartered depending on size of the berry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch round pie dish very well with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar, flour, and salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Allow it to cool slightly before adding the eggs to avoid scrambling.
- Add the eggs and extracts to the melted butter and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry and stir to combine; do not overmix.
- Add 2 cups of strawberries and stir to combine; the batter will be very thick.
- Turn the mixture out into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup strawberries over the top, pressing them lightly into the batter.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top and bake for about 34 to 39 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the pie to cool in the dish on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Optionally serve with whipped topping or ice cream. The pie will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a more gooey center, bake for slightly less time (around 35 minutes).
- All ovens may vary, so monitor the pie closely while baking.
- Best served fresh, but can be stored for up to 5 days at room temperature.
