Dianne Ebke of Plymouth, Nebraska was baking an apple pie for dinner at her in-laws, when she ran short of apples at the last minute. “I substituted strawberries for the rest of the apples and didn’t tell anyone,“ she recalls. “But that pie was such a hit, I’ve been making it ever since!“

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
1-1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Dough for double-crust pie
TOPPING:
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Whipped topping, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the apples and strawberries; drizzle with lemon juice. Combine sugar and flour; sprinkle over fruit and toss lightly.
Preheat oven to 450°. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.- thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top.
Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over crust. Cover edges loosely with foil.
Bake 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350°. Remove foil and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 35-40 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with whipped topping.

Dough for double-crust pie

Combine 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp. salt; cut in 1 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 1/3 to 2/3 cup ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
