Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Serving
  • whipped cream optional

Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Dish
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Mixing Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your pie crust bakes perfectly.
  2. Step 2: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and bake according to the package instructions until golden brown. Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
  3. Step 3: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in the water and lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Once it has thickened, remove it from the heat.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the halved strawberries until they are well coated with the mixture.
  6. Step 6: Pour the strawberry mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly for a beautiful presentation.
  7. Step 7: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until set. This step is important for that perfect slice!
  8. Step 8: Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

To keep your pie fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container for about a month.
