Ingredients

For Pie Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces butter, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Filling:

  • Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
  • Strawberry jam or homemade strawberry glaze (combine strawberry puree, sugar, cornstarch, and heat until thickened)

Instructions

  1. Make the Pie Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add butter and vanilla, then mix using hands or a pastry cutter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the dough evenly into the base of a pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the shape.
  3. Bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool.
  4. Prepare the Strawberries: Slice fresh strawberries and set them aside.
  5. Make the Glaze: For the glaze, use either strawberry jam or make your own glaze by heating strawberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Cool slightly.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Arrange sliced strawberries in a decorative pattern in the cooled crust. Pour the glaze over the strawberries to coat evenly.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least one hour to set the glaze.
  8. Serve: Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dollop of whipped topping.

Notes

  • The pie can be made with any berry or a mixed-berry combo for variation.
  • Consider using a graham cracker crust for a different twist.
  • For dairy-free or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients as needed.
