Ingredients

• 1 whole pre-made pie crust (or homemade crust)
• 6 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.75 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a pre-made pie crust, press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 3

Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice 4 cups of strawberries in half and set them aside for the filling. Mash the remaining 2 cups of strawberries in a medium saucepan using a potato masher or fork.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 3/4 cup of cold water to the mashed strawberries. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once it thickens and becomes translucent (about 2-3 minutes), remove it from the heat and stir in the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.

Step 6

Arrange the halved strawberries in the cooled pie crust, stem side down. Carefully pour the strawberry glaze over the fresh strawberries, covering them completely.

Step 7

Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy the fresh, fruity taste of this homemade strawberry pie!
