Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the pre-made pie crust according to the package instructions to ensure it's golden and fully cooked. Let it cool completely before filling.
2. Wash the strawberries and hull them by removing the green tops. Slice half of the strawberries into bite-sized pieces for the filling. Reserve the remaining strawberries for garnish.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, cold water, and salt. Stir until smooth.
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and add 1 cup of the sliced strawberries. Mash the strawberries slightly to release their juices as you stir.
5. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes glossy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
6. Allow the glaze to cool for about 10 minutes, then fold in the remaining sliced strawberries to coat them evenly with the glaze.
7. Carefully spoon the strawberry filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Arrange the reserved whole or halved strawberries on top of the pie for decoration, pressing them gently into the filling.
9. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the filling sets properly.
10. Serve the pie cold, topped with whipped cream and mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy this summertime treat!
