Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for glaze)
• 3 ounces Strawberry-flavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0 optional Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of water, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry-flavored gelatin until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Arrange the hulled strawberries evenly in the chilled graham cracker crust, pointed ends facing up for presentation.

Step 7

Pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are well coated and the liquid fills the pie crust.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the glaze is fully set.

Step 9

Once set, garnish with whipped cream if desired and serve chilled. Enjoy Grandma's easy and delicious strawberry pie!
