Strawberry Crumb Pie
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter
- 3 ounces cold cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup rolled oatmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 6 cups (2 pounds) hulled, quartered strawberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
- Make the crust: Combine the butter and cream cheese in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Add the flour and salt and process just until the mixture comes together into a ball.
- Scrape out the dough, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the crumb topping: Combine the oatmeal, flour and sugar in a small bowl and toss to combine.
- Add the melted butter and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
- Refrigerate the topping until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Working on a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick and fit it into a 9- or 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom (you can also use a springform pan).
- Trim the excess dough.
- Return the pie crust to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Line the crust with foil, fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake until lightly golden, about 18 minutes.
- Remove the foil and weights and let the crust cool on a wire rack.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
- Make the filling: Toss the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and orange zest in a mixing bowl.
- Spoon the strawberry filling into the crust and spread the crumb topping evenly over the berries.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust and topping are golden brown.
- Transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature before serving.
