Re: Pies & Pastries
SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY PIE
Pastry for a 9-inch lattice-top pie
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
1 egg yolk, beaten
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare the pie pastry. Line the pie pan with the bottom crust, using half of the dough. Keep the remaining dough chilled. Combine the strawberries, cinnamon, allspice, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well. Turn the filling into the crust. Sprinkle the hazelnuts on top and dot with butter. Lay on the lattice strips and crimp the pie. Brush the lattice strips with egg yolk. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake 35 to 40 minutes more
or until golden brown.
