Bored and hungry one day with frozen strawberries to experiment with... Ta da! A easy, yummy (somewhat healthy?) new treat! I think they taste like strawberry pie, hence the name. I've actually gone gluten-free lately (ever since I found out I'm sensitive) so you can make it with gluten-free flour as well, just add more oil and water until the dough is workable.
---"Strawberry Pie Dumplings"---
Ingredients:
-A batch of pie crust dough
-Some frozen strawberries
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 Tbsp sugar
Directions:
Mix the cinnamon and sugar to make cinnamon sugar. Wrap each frozen strawberry (or two, if they're small) in a thin layer of pie crust dough. Sprinkle the top with just a little cinnamon sugar. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes about 24 per batch of pie crust if you use large strawberries.

Cranberry Streusel Pie
Big news: my son was born! Which is why I haven't been blogging for the past couple of months. I know how much you missed me :p
Anyway, a friend wanted this recipe, so I'm back!
This really is truly a delicious pie. How delicious you may ask? Well, lets look at the facts: 1) My beloved husband is, let's face it, a bit of a picky eater; 2) He doesn't like to eat the same food over and over again (the exception being, of course, tacos); 3) He's asked me to make this pie 3 times in the past 3 weeks. I'd say this is a winner.
We've variated a few times on the ingredients used, and can confidently say that it is fine to leave out the walnuts if you don't like/have walnuts, also we recommend substituting a cup of the cranberries with a cup of frozen strawberries, as it is just as tasty.
---Cranberry Streusel Pie---
Ingredients:
-One pie crust (Uncooked I think, although the recipe doesn't seem to specify)
-2 c. fresh/frozen cranberries
-1/4 c. sugar
-1/4 c. packed brown sugar
-1/2 c. walnuts
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1 egg
-1/3 c. sugar
-1/4 c. butter, melted
-3 Tbsp flour
Directions:
Stir together the cranberries, 1/4 c. sugar, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon together and pour into the (uncooked?) pie crust. Whisk together the egg, 1/3 c. sugar, butter, and flour together and pour over the cranberry mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, and then at 350 degrees for 30 more minutes or until the streusel is golden.

Pie Crust
This is the best pie crust recipe I've ever found. It's simple, easy, tasty, and never fails (I don't exactly know how a pie crust can fail, but one recipe I tried in a cooking class had "no-fail" in the title, so apparently they can). This is also my favorite recipe because it has no eggs in it, so you can safely eat any and all of the dough you desire. Yum. The only thing to watch out for is that you don't overcook it- it can become very dry and a little scorched-colored if you do. And just in case you were wondering, this is yet another one of my mom's recipes.
---Pie Crust---
Ingredients:
-1 and 3/4 c. flour
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 c. oil
-1/4 c. milk or water
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together until a dough forms. Roll out and then pat into whatever you're putting it in. Poke the dough all over with a fork so that it doesn't bubble up. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden. This supposedly makes 1 10-inch pie shell or 2 8-inch pie crusts. Also you can make a pretty yummy pie crust cookie if you sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before you bake.

Strawberry Pie
Once again, this delicious recipe comes from my mother. This was one of my favorite pies growing up, but since its best to use fresh strawberries we would only have it in the summer. You can use frozen strawberries instead of fresh (which I tried recently) but you have to add water to the strawberry/sugar/flour mix (correct amount unknown) and it just doesn't taste as good.
---Strawberry Pie---
Ingredients:
-One pie crust (an unbaked one is easiest to use for this recipe)
-8 oz cream cheese
-6 c. strawberries (once again, fresh is best!)
-1 and 1/2 c. sugar
-1/2 c. flour
Directions:
Bake the pie crust, and then spread the cream cheese onto the hot crust (if your pie crust is already baked and cooled you'll probably have to melt the cream cheese a little so that you can spread it easily). Hull and wash the strawberries, then place them in a pot and mash them up until they are strawberry goop. Mix in the flour and sugar, then boil it all for one minute, stirring constantly (very easy to burn at this point!!). Pour the strawberry stuff into the cream cheese-covered pie crust, then cool it for a couple of hours until it sets up.
