Strawberry pie
Ingredients:

CRUST:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup finely ground almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

FILLING:

• Vanilla Pastry Cream
• Fresh Strawberries
• Red Apricot Glaze

Preparation:

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, almonds, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, large-tined fork, or a food processor on pulse setting, cut the chilled butter into the flour until it resembles coarse sand with a few pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. Stir the egg into the mixture and toss gently a few times, just until it forms a ball that holds together.
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Bake in oven for about 30 minutes at 425 deg. F.
