Sour Cream Strawberry Pie

Spring has finally arrived (amen!), and our garden has started producing lots of strawberries. The other day, I started to think of ways in which we could enjoy them (besides straight off the vine, of course).

I rummaged through my ancient green recipe binder and found a recipe for Sour Cream Strawberry Pie that I’d forgotten about for years. With only FIVE ingredients, I thought would be a cinch to make. I dusted off the recipe and gave it a try.

I’m so glad I did.

Not wanting to take the time to make my own pie crust, I used a refrigerated store-bought one. After that, I sliced up strawberries, covered them with a mixture of sugar, flour, and sour cream, then sprinkled more sugar on top. E-A-S-Y!

With the flour/sugar mixture on top and the crust on the bottom, this dessert seemed like a cross between pie and cobbler to me.

Whether or not you call it a pie or a a cobbler, I’m pretty sure you will call it delicious.

Living Life to The Fullest!

I love seeking out new experiences and finding places off the beaten path. I started Joplin MO Life in August 2013 as a way to share my discoveries with others in the Joplin community so that they can learn about the resources that exist right in their own backyards.

I have worked in education and event planning, and have always loved to write. I hold a master's degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma and a bachelor's degree in marketing from Tulane University.
