Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (24g) cornstarch
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp (15g) sugar, and ½ tsp (3g) salt. Add ½ cup (115g) chilled butter, cubed, and mix until crumbly. Gradually add 2-3 tbsp (30-45ml) ice-cold water until the dough comes together. Roll it out and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and add pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake another 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) sugar, 3 tbsp (24g) cornstarch, and 1 cup (240ml) water. Whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp (30ml) lemon juice.
- Arrange the Strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries in the cooled crust in an even layer.
- Glaze the Strawberries: Using a pastry brush, gently spread the warm glaze over the strawberries until completely covered. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Chill the crust before baking to prevent shrinking. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture. Stir the glaze constantly to avoid lumps, and let it cool slightly before applying to the strawberries.
