Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh strawberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 1 piece Pre-baked pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and hull 6 cups of fresh strawberries. Set aside 2 cups of the berries for the glaze and slice the remaining 4 cups in halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, mash the 2 cups of berries with a fork or potato masher until they are broken down. Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Cook the mashed berry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering berry mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the glaze for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the glaze cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced strawberries in the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust, spreading them evenly in a single layer.

Step 7

Pour the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the strawberries, making sure to cover all the berries. Gently spread the glaze with a spoon or spatula if needed.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your Fantastic Strawberry Pie!
