FAQs

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of pie filling?

Fresh strawberries can be used, but they have more moisture and less sweetness than pie filling. If using fresh, you may want to cook them down slightly with sugar to create a syrupy consistency before assembling the cake.

Do I need to grease the baking dish?

No, greasing the dish is not necessary as the pie filling provides enough moisture to prevent sticking, and the melted butter on top helps create a golden crust.
