Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add strawberries and pecans; toss gently. , On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling. Dot with butter., Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1/2-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom pastry; flute edge. Bake at 375° for 50-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, mix sugar, tapioca and salt; add strawberries and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Mix melted butter, pecans, flour and brown sugar in medium bowl with fork until thoroughly mixed. Will be crumbly.
• Place crumb mixture onto 10x15x1" cookie sheet, carefully spreading without packing to cover pan. Bake 10-15 minutes, stirring periodically to brown crumbs and avoid burning.
• Remove crumbs from oven when lightly browned and set on cooling rack to cool, stirring periodically so that crumbs do not compact.
• Next, place egg whites, partially frozen berries and lemon juice in large mixing bowl, beating with electric mixture at high speed for 15 minutes, until filling is a pink 'cloud'.
• Fold whipped topping into strawberry mixture, carefully folding to not 'flatten' cloud.
• Spread 3/4 of crumb mixture into 9x13 pan. Fill with strawberry mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours, preferably day before serving. Cook time is minimum freezing time.
• Note: Can replace frozen strawberries with 2 Cups sliced fresh strawberries, macerated with 1 Cup sugar. I prefer to use frozen strawberries that are set on counter while crumbs are prepared and baked. I have also substituted Whipped Cream for frozen topping. Place in cold bowl 1 cup heavy cream, and while beating add 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Fold into strawberry cloud in step 5.
• 2nd Note: Can use two 10" deep dish pie plates instead of 9x13" pan. Makes a great dessert to take to church suppers or dessert for a meal taken to sick friend.

• (I use a whisk and stir constantly) Remove the glaze from heat.
• Add the butter and stir into the glaze until melted.
• Cool the glaze.
• While the glaze is cooling, if your crust is cool enough, add your sliced strawberries to the crust.
• When the glaze is cool, pour it over the sliced strawberries in the pie crust, and chill completely in the fridge until the glaze sets firmly.

• Meanwhile, to make the topping-combine the flour, pecans, sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse several times to chop the nuts coarsely.
• Scatter the butter over the top and pulse again until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Sprinkle the milk over the mixture and pulse again briefly.
• Transfer the topping to a bowl and rub it between your fingers to make damp, gravelly crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the pie from the oven and decrease temperature to 375°; carefully dump the crumbs in the center of the pie; spreading them evenly over the surface with your hands.
• Tamp them down lightly; return pie to oven, placing it so that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.
• Slide a large foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any drips.
• Continue to bake 30-40 minutes until the juices bubble thickly around the edge.
• If necessary, cover the pie with loosely tented foil for the last 15 minutes to keep the top from getting too brown.
• Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cook for at least 2 hours before serving.
