Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 sheets roll-out pie crust
  2. 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  3. White sanding sugar, for top of crust
  4. 5 cups strawberries, washed and hulled
  5. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  6. 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  7. Pinch salt
  8. Strawberry Whipped Cream, recipe follows, optional
  9. 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  10. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  11. 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  12. 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Roll out 1 sheet of the pie crust and put in a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges for a pretty presentation. Roll out the other sheet and cut into 1/2-inch thick strips with a sharp knife or pastry wheel. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together all of the filling ingredients and pour into the crust.
  4. Arrange the strips over the top of the pie in a lattice pattern, tucking in the edges, or layer the circular shapes on top of the strawberries. Brush the top with the melted butter and sprinkle the sanding sugar. Bake the pie for 25 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. and bake until the top is golden brown, another 30 minutes. Let cool before serving with Strawberry Whipped Cream, if desired.
  5. Beat the heavy cream in a medium bowl until thick. Add the vanilla and confectioners’ sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks appear. Add the jam, a little at a time, and beat until stiff peaks are formed.

Easy and tasty pie to make. Great with strawberry or vanilla frozen yogurt!
Joshua Rivera
I have made this recipe about 10 times now and I love it, very easy and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it!
Jenna Adams
Very good! Skipped the whipped cream and just mixed the berries with 1/2 cup brown sugar(no corn starch). Turned out like a pop tart pie and it was amazing!

I have been making this pie for years and have never had any problems.  You have to slice the strawberries which isn’t really mentioned.  You also have to have a pie ring to cover the the edge of the crust because it browns so fast.  Usually at about 5 minutes into the the 30 minute 350 part when your entire crust is all browned you’ll need to cover it with aluminum foil completely and cook the rest of the full amount of time listed in the directions.

I am making this pie for the third time.  It is in the oven as I type.  It is very quick and so delicious.  The recipe is perfect, and the strawberry whipped cream is fabulous.

Great taste easy to make but it very running. Need to tell people to use a thicker crust and bake the crust in the dish in the oven for at least 10 to 15 minutes so that it will not be soggy and more corn starch

Super easy to make but came out very runny. Not a happy camper.

The pie was delicious, but mine came out runny. Perhaps it was because I did not refrigerate it, but the recipe doesn’t say to do so (the remains are in the fridge now, so I’ll see in the morning. My strawberries were very ripe and just from the farmer’s market, so the amount of sugar was just right. I notice some reviewers say that flour thickens better than cornstarch, so maybe I should try that next time (why don’t recipes offer this option?. I’ll also make my own crust, as the storebought one I used could be better. But the strawberry filling is really great. I have no idea what “sanding sugar” is, so I used superfine which didn’t really do anything, so I’m guessing that “sanding” is larger than normal crystals. Some explanation of that would have been welcome in the recipe. Please chefs, when you write recipes, tell the whole story instead of assuming everyone knows what you mean!!!!

It’s in the oven, making it for a second time, followed exactly but added a little more sugar and a teaspoon vanilla because I add it in almost everything : smells good. I get scared with store bought crusts burning easily and so I only had it at 400 degrees for 10 minutes before I put the pie in. The strawberry whip is delish. I let it cool for a long time and everything comes together and not runny at all. Thanks guys! love their chocolate coconut cookies too!
