Creamy Strawberry Pie

1 cup chopped strawberries

Answer 2

This may not be a pie, but you can have that creamy, fruity taste you're looking to make with a simple, yet DELICIOUS cobbler.

In a 9x13 pan, melt a stick of butter in the oven at 350 degrees F
While that's melting, in a separate bowl combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup self-rising flour, and 1 cup of milk
Take the pan out of the oven, put whatever fruit you want (berries, peaches, cherries, you name it- you can even use chocolate pudding!) into the pan and stir it into the melted butter.
Spread evenly, then pour the sugar/flour/milk mixture over the top and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown

You can sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar halfway through.

Serve hot with ice cream- soooo good

Answer 3

This is the simplest recipe for a wonderful quick fruit pie, but you can call it a tart if you like. I take a pie plate and put a ready made pie crust in the bottom, put some dried beans in it (uncooked of course-this is to keep the crust from puffing up in the middle) and bake at 350 until very lightly brown around edges (I cook this one just about 5-8 minutes. Take out and cool. Now open up two cans of whatever pie filling you like, I like apple or peach is wonderful too, and pour into cooled pie crust, I then cut up a few little slices of butter and dot over pie filling. Put another ready made crust on top and seal it around the edges of the other crust (careful not to crack the crust that was pre baked), then cut a few slits in the crust and brush melted butter on top crust and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Put back into oven and bake until top crust browns lightly. Take out and let pie cool. Then you can slice and serve with whipped topping, it is very good.

P.S. Throw the beans away.
