In this recipe, Giada De Laurentiis gives a classic streusel pie a springtime twist. Sour cream makes the pie soft and just the right amount of moist, while fresh strawberries, basil, and lemon zest add a vibrant flavor. And of course, what would a crunchy streusel pie be without it? Giada added some chopped almonds to the crumble topping for even more texture and flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Streusel:

In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, almonds, and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms evenly moistened crumbs. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

Pie:

In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated.
Add 1.5 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Add milk and mix again. Add the remaining 2 cups flour and lemon zest and fold with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle evenly with strawberries and basil.
Sprinkle streusel on top and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
