It doesn't have to look good as long as it taste good.

John (aka Handy Hubby) doesn't always have a sweet tooth, but every once and a while, he gets a craving for something.  This time it is a strawberry tart.  Well I am not good at tarts and I don't own a tart pan. So I decided on a compromise, strawberry pie, at least I hope it is a good compromise.  So I set out gathering the stuff to make it. I used the Pioneer Woman's Perfect Pie Crust recipe.  I followed the directions and made the crust. And while the crust was chilling, I started on the filling.

I really suck at pie crust. So I gave up on rolling it out and just pressed it into the pie plate with my fingers.

I started by putting frozen strawberries in a bowl (could be any berry or fruit) and sprinkled with a tbsp of cornstarch.

I finished off the edges with a fork,  okay so I wanted it to look somewhat nice.

I placed the strawberries, poured the simple syrup mixture over the top, and sprinkled with a little flour.

Added crumbles of leftover crust on top of the fruit and into the oven.

Baked and ready to eat , Yummy!!!!
