Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups crushed pecan shortbread cookies
¼ cup blanched slivered almonds
⅓ cup butter, melted
6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
⅓ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In small bowl, stir together all crust ingredients. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

This recipe is missing some important instructions. I had to guess at a few things and my pie didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

I'm not a huge fan of strawberries, but this pie was surprisingly good. The almond filling really balanced out the tartness of the strawberries.
