Lets talk about why you need to make this fresh strawberry pie recipe, shall we?

Looking for a simple and humble pie ? Youve found it.

This ones filled with fresh, sweet strawberriescoated in a light strawberry glaze. A glaze thats just

thick enough to hold the strawberries together, but just loose enough so a couple stray strawberries fall out

out onto the plate. Its not perfect we love that. Not to mention, those stray strawberries are perfect for

swiping through some lightly whipped cream.

The recipe is a breeze, too.

How We Make It Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe

There are two parts to this recipe the pie shell and the strawberry filling.

How to Bake Pie Crust

Whether you buy pie dough or make homemade dough, you will need to bake the pie shell. This takes 20 to

30 minutes.


4/15



Start by rolling out some pie dough and placing into a pie dish (for help, take a look at our pie crust recipe

video in it, youll see how we make it, roll it, place it into the pie dish and crimp the edges).

Next, use a fork to prick the bottom of the pie shell this helps to prevent the dough from bubbling up when

baking. Add some aluminum foil or parchment paper to the bottom then weigh it down with rice, dried beans

or pie weights. Bake until golden then remove the foil or parchment and brush the entire shell with egg wash

and bake a little longer. The egg wash helps make the pie shell shiny and golden, but it also seals the

bottom of the pie shelland prevents the strawberry filling from making the crust soggy.

Cool the pie shell then fill.

How to Make the Strawberry Filling

We really like to use fresh strawberries for this. Start by mashing about 2 cups of strawberries . Add somesugar, corn starch and extra flavors (like vanilla and lemon) then cook until bubbly and thick. Thats

your strawberry glaze.

Then, toss with more strawberriesand add to the baked and cooled pie crust.

Created By: Joanne and Adam Gallagher

Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie, 8 servings

You Will Need

Chilled pie dough for one 9-inch pie (see ourpie crust recipe)

5 cups (24 ounces or 680 grams) quartered and hulled strawberries

1/4 (30 grams) cup cornstarch

2/3 to 3/4 cup (134 to 150 grams) sugar, adjusted according to the sweetness of strawberries

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon heavy or whipping cream

Whipped cream, optional

Directions

Prepare Pie Crust

Roll out pie dough to fit pie dish. Gently press dough down into dish so that it lines the bottom and sides of

the dish. (Be careful not to pull or stretch the dough). Then, use a knife or pair of kitchen scissors to trim

dough to within 1/2-inch of the edge of the dish.

Fold edges of dough underneath itself, creating a thicker, 1/4-inch border that rests on the lip of the dish.

Then, crimp edges. (You can see us do this in our pie crust recipe video).

7/15



Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C). Place a baking sheet on a middle oven rack.

Pierce bottom of the crust with a fork (this prevent air pockets or bubbles from forming while baking). Line

the crust with two sheets of aluminum foil. (Be sure to push foil against the edges of the crust). Then, fill foil

with dried rice, dried beans or pie weights. Refrigerate 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes, or until firm to

the touch.

Place pie crust onto preheated baking sheet and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 C). Bake 20

to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Make egg wash by whisking egg yolk and cream in a small bowl. Then, remove rice, beans or pie weights

and foil from pie crust. Brush bottom and sides of crust with egg wash. Bake until egg wash is dry and

shiny, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool crust completely before filling.

Make Pie Filling

Add 2 cups of strawberries to a small saucepan. Mash strawberries until chunky.

Add sugar, corn starch, vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium

heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and glaze has thickened; 3 to 5 minutes. Cool

completely.

Combine remaining 3 cups of strawberries with cooled strawberry glaze. Stir until strawberries are well

coated. Spoon strawberry filling into cooled pie crust.

Made this pie today with strawberries we picked up during our trip down the California coast. What a

treat! I was happy I took the extra time to make the pie crust using the suggested recipe, it was sure

worth it. Will be making it again soon.

I made this yesterday. Its been in the fridge overnight, and the filling still slides around when you tilt the

pie plate. Was it supposed to have set up, or is it just sort of a loose pie? Thanks!

Reply

13AdamJuly 6, 2013 at 5:53 pm

Hi Megan, This is more of a loose pie. You should be able to cut a nice slice, but a few

strawberries will fall out on the the plate. Hope you enjoy it!

For a more vibrant pie place a few drops of red food coloring into the crushed berry mixture after youremove it from the stove. Mix with a metal spoon. Do not use wooden or the spoons will get stained. I

also mix in 1/3 cup of triple sec Liquere to the cool mashed berries as well. This gives it a slight orange

flavor and makes the glaze just a bit thinner.

16Kathy July 15, 2013 at 2:19 pm

Does this glaze get runny at all the next day if I make it beforehand? Im looking for something that will

hold its thickness.

Thanks!

Reply

17JoanneJuly 15, 2013 at 8:53 pm

Hi Kathy, The glaze is fine the next day. Just keep it in the refrigerator until you serve.

Wow! I made it at noon todayeasy and BEAUtiful! Its chilling in the fridge. As a photographer

who loves food photography, this will quality for its own portrait later with whip cream! Thank you and

keep it coming!

19Linda A. WaterhouseJuly 18, 2013 at 3:13 pm

P.S. I have a tip for us wooden-spoon lovers: Wipe new wooden utensils with olive oil, or ANY kind

of cooking oil, to prevent it from staining.

I am going to make it. I have made it many times over the last 40 years, the one thing that I do is

spread some cream cheese on the bottom of the crust before add the strawberries. Try it! My family

loves it.

22Gaylynn March 11, 2014 at 9:55 pm

the filling that is cooked just before adding the remaining strawberries is THE bomb! I am about to try

it as a filling for a birthday cake.I hope it turns outit really thickens well and I think would do

perfect for thisso glad I found thisthanks!

23JoanneMarch 17, 2014 at 3:26 pm

Oh, yum what a great idea.

24Meghan March 14, 2014 at 8:08 pm

I made this (but used only about 1 T. of sugar and corn startch with the berries instead of the

suggested amounts; strawberries are so naturally sweet, why cover it up with sugar?) and it turned out

DELICIOUS.

25JoanneMarch 17, 2014 at 3:04 pm

So glad the pie worked out for you!
