A classic strawberry glazed pie with a flaky crust, fresh strawberries, and a glossy homemade glaze. This dessert is light, fruity, and perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust baked and fully cooled
- 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar for the glaze
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup whipped cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Prepare and cool a 9-inch pie crust completely before filling.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the water and salt, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the glaze cool for about 10 minutes, until slightly warm but not hot.
- Arrange half of the strawberries in the cooled crust. Spoon the glaze over them, then top with the remaining strawberries, pressing them gently into place.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set. Slice and serve with whipped cream if desired.
