This strawberry crumb pie with fresh strawberries is a summertime tradition in my family — we have NEVER tasted, or even seen, a strawberry pie like it.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a drip pan on the lowest oven rack to catch pie juices. Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2
Combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, 6 tablespoons butter, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until fluffy; set topping aside.
Step 3
Add strawberries to a large bowl. Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 cup flour, and cornstarch together in a separate bowl; add to strawberries, stirring gently until coated, being careful not to crush berries.
Step 4
Pour strawberries into prepared pie crust mounding them in the middle as the berries will sink as they bake. Cover strawberries with topping; top with about 15 pea-sized pieces of butter. Wrap edges of pie crust with foil to prevent burning.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake 40 minutes more. With 10 minutes left of baking, sprinkle a little extra sugar over crumb topping, then finish baking.
