Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 Pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice half of them into halves or quarters, leaving the other half whole for a mix of textures and appearance.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Step 3
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes slightly translucent (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated in the glaze.
Step 5
Arrange the whole strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust, pointed ends facing up. Pour the glazed, sliced strawberries over the top, spreading them evenly and filling in any gaps.
Step 6
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Step 7
Serve slices chilled, optionally topping with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
