Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.75 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to form a decorative border.
Step 2
Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork several times to prevent air bubbles. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans to keep its shape during baking.
Step 3
Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove the crust from the oven, lift out the parchment paper and weights, and let it cool completely.
Step 4
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice about half of them into quarters and leave the rest whole for a mix of textures in the pie.
Step 5
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Whisk to dissolve the cornstarch completely.
Step 6
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and starts to bubble (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly but not fully set.
Step 7
Arrange the whole strawberries in the baked, cooled pie crust, and then gently pour the thickened glaze over the top, ensuring all the strawberries are evenly coated.
Step 8
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the glaze is fully set.
Step 9
Serve the strawberry pie chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!
