Strawberries and Cream Pie

I got this recipe from my grandma Carol Trostle.  The original recipe is Peaches and Cream Pie.  I changed it and added strawberries instead!  My grandma used to make this and when I was around I would always ask her to put extra cream in it because it was so delicious!  This pie is something different and it is just great!  I will give you both recipes for peaches and strawberries.

Peaches and Cream Pie or Strawberries and Cream Pie

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.         Bake 35-45 minutes or until it sets

Peeled Ripe Peach Halves or 1 Quart strawberries stems removed and sliced
Filling:                  9"                                      8"
                       7-8  peach halves               6 peach halves
                       2/3 C. Sugar                       1/2 C. Sugar
                       4 TBSP flour                      3 TBSP flour

Cream            1/4 tsp salt                          1/4 tsp salt
                      1/2 tsp cinnamon                1/3 tsp cinnamon
                      1 C. cream                          3/4 C. cream

Mix together peach halves, sugar, and flour.  Arrange Peach halves rounded side up in pastry-lined pan.  Pour cream mixture over peaches and bake.
-or-
Mix strawberries, sugar, and flour.  Put into pastry-lined pan.  If there is excess liquid from strawberries do not allow it into the pan.  Pour cream mixture over strawberries and bake.  The strawberries and cream pie might take longer to bake and set. 
For both pies, put tinfoil around crust if it gets too brown. You don't want it to burn.

 The brown you are seeing on top is just the cinnamon.

I let the strawberries sit over night which made them have too much juice.  So, do not let them sit overnight.  Prepare them and use them right away.  I added all the juice and the cream and it was too much.  It took the pie forever to bake and set.  The strawberries and cream pie was absolutely delicious though and everyone who ate it enjoyed it.  Have fun with this recipe and add whatever other fruit you would like to try!  Enjoy!
