Ingredients
- 1 pound sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- Demerara sugar
- 2 sheets of refrigerated pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sliced 1 pound sliced fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir until strawberries are evenly coated and sugar/cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
- Roll out one sheet of pie crust and gently place it in a regular (not deep-dish) 9-inch pie dish. Press down on the center and sides to release any trapped air bubbles. Prick the bottom dough with a fork a few times.
- Cut the excess dough off the sides of the pie dish.
- Pour the strawberry pie filling into the prepared pie dish, smoothing into an even layer.
- Roll out the second sheet of pie dough and cut into even strips about 2⁄3 inch thick. Place the strips over the pie in a lattice pattern then cut off the excess overhang. (You can use the excess dough to create a braided edge.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and a splash of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the top of the crust of your pie. Sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Place on the middle rack and bake for 35-45 minutes at 425 degrees F. The top crust should be nicely browned. Remove and allow to cool at least an hour before serving.
Notes
Allow pie to cool on a wire rack before cutting into it.
This pie tastes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
If you notice the edges getting darker than the center while baking, line the edges with
foil and continue to bake until center dough is baked through.
