Notes
*The way I have the recipe written, this makes a very full pie. You’ll want a deep dish pie crust. If all you have is smaller crusts, then it will make 2 pies.
**This amount of strawberries fills the pie fully. You can use less fruit if you’d like. If you use more fruit, the pie may fall apart slightly when you cut it.
The calories shown are based on the pie being cut into 8 pieces, with 1 serving being 1 slice of pie. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. The information in the nutrition box are calculated through a program and there is room for error. If you need an accurate count, I recommend running the ingredients through your favorite nutrition calculator.**
