Ingredients:
- 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the unbaked pie crust and crimp the edges.
- In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and becomes translucent.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts and combines with the mixture.
- Add the sliced strawberries to the mixture and toss to coat.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Additional Notes:
- For a decorative crust, use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the top crust before baking.
- To prevent the crust from getting soggy, brush the bottom of the pie crust with an egg white before adding the strawberry filling.
