Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh strawberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 premade or homemade 9-inch pie crust
• 0 optional, for topping Whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 3

Bake the pie crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

While the crust is cooling, rinse and hull the strawberries. Slice half of the strawberries and leave the other half whole for a mix of textures in the finished pie.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth to avoid lumps.

Step 6

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. This takes about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Reserve a few whole strawberries for decoration if desired. Gently fold the sliced strawberries and half of the whole strawberries into the cooked mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Pour the strawberry mixture into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Arrange the reserved whole strawberries on top as decoration if using. Let the pie cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 11

Slice and serve with whipped cream if desired.
