Old Fashioned Strawberry Cobbler With Pie Crust
Nothing beats the sweet and tangy taste of fresh strawberries in a warm and comforting cobbler. This old fashioned strawberry cobbler with pie crust is the perfect dessert for any occasion, from a family dinner to a summer barbecue. Not only is it delicious, but it's also easy to make and can be prepared in advance.
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish and transfer it to the dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, making sure it is evenly distributed. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
4. Roll out the remaining pie crust and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the top of the filling.
5. Bake the cobbler for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. If your strawberries are very sweet, you may need less sugar.
- If you don't have cornstarch, you can use flour instead.
- You can prepare the cobbler filling in advance and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- If you don't want to make a lattice crust, you can simply place a second pie crust on top and cut a few slits in it to allow steam to escape.
This old fashioned strawberry cobbler with pie crust is a classic dessert that will never go out of style. It's perfect for showcasing the sweetness and juiciness of fresh strawberries, and the buttery crust adds the perfect amount of richness and texture.
