Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 optional (for serving) Whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your pre-made pie crust package, and bake the crust until golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.
Step 2
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice half of them, and leave the other half whole (optional: reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish).
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir to dissolve.
Step 4
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and 1 cup of the sliced strawberries to the saucepan. Mash the strawberries lightly with a fork or a potato masher to release their juices.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze is smooth and thickened.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
Arrange the remaining whole and sliced strawberries in the baked pie crust, spreading them out evenly.
Step 9
Pour the cooled glaze over the strawberries, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure all the berries are coated.
Step 10
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set.
Step 11
Slice and serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
