I found strawberries on sale at the grocery store! It’s not truly spring until I can pick up a pound of strawberries for under $2, and since I found them, we are welcoming spring with a slice of strawberry pie today.

It’s a goal of mine to one day learn how to make a perfect, buttery, flaky pie crust. But it’s gonna have to be dang good to beat the Marie Callendar’s deep dish crusts that I buy at the store in the meantime. Pie crust is hard to get perfect and takes some time. These pie crusts are one item I splurge on occasionally because they make baking the perfect pie so much easier!
The original recipe for this pie called for double the cream cheese layer and double the sugar in the Jello mixture. It was way too sweet for us, so I modified the recipe to suit our own tastes. Cutting back the sugar makes the fresh strawberry flavor the star of the show. So bright and fruity!
