Summer brings with it lots of patriotic celebrations from Memorial Day and July 4th to wrapping up the season with Labor Day! I wanted to share a simple + sweet recipe for strawberry pies, patriotic style! They’re perfect for a casual family dinner or cute enough for a big BBQ bash! You can personalize them (blueberries would be a great blue alternative) or keep with the recipe below. Either way, they’re sure to be a hit. I love strawberries (and I’ve been growing them on my deck) so I used those! Pie crusts make the cute stars on top. See full recipe below…
I didn’t line these in pie crust (though you could) but rather just placed star-shaped “pie crust” on top! I put 2 on just to build the star up a bit (it’s yummy) but 1 is also fine.
You could also make these in mini pie tins too (if you’re headed to a party, for example) or use ramekins like I did. You could even let kids cut out their initial or other shape from the pie crust.
