Strawberry Cream Pie

Strawberry Cream Pie

1 sour cream pie crust
Filling:
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 c sour cream
1/4 c sugar
2 tbs flour
1 tsp vanilla
2 c strawberries
1/2 c blueberries
Combine eggs, sour cream, vanilla, sugar and flour in bowl. Dump berries into bottom pie crust, and then poor sour cream mixture over top. Cover pie with second crust and bake in oven at 375 for 40 minutes or so... cover crust with tinfoil for the first 20 minutes to prevent over browning.
This pie is kinda like a custard pie. The original recipe calls for apples but I substituted frozen berries. The problem with that was that the frozen berries maybe had produced more liquid once thawed in the pie so it was a bit runny. I think using fresh would solve this problem. The pie was so yummy even though I kind of hate cooked strawberries.

I am currently really big on pie not only because I have mastered the pie crust but because I think it might be healthy?! Just maybe??? I mean, one serving of FRUIT pie MUST equal one serving of fruit. So I feel good about fruit pies.

Valentine's Day Pie

This is a Valentine's Day pie I made using THE BEST sour cream pie crust recipe and then a filling of apples and sour cherries(imported from Hungary). I used a slight touch of pink gel food coloring and cut out hearts with a knife to enhance the V-Day effect. This crust recipe is so amazing and flaky and easy and just all around GREAT!! Honestly, I have cried over many a failed pie crust and this recipe never lets me down. Make sure to chill it though!
