Scale
For pie:
- 2 – 9” store-bought or homemade pie crusts
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 lbs. fresh strawberries, hulled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 lemon juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- Rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- Preparation. Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease a 9” pie plate.
- Cook strawberry filling. Mix the water, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest, salt, and vanilla extract in a pot over medium-low heat until the strawberries soften. Around 4 – 5 minutes. Add cornstarch and continue cooking for 1 – 2 minutes or until the mixture gels together. Remove from heat.
- Assemble pie. Prepare the pie plate with a bottom crust and pour the warm strawberry filling inside. Place another crust on top of the strawberries, cut the edges and crimp the edges together. Make slits around the center of the pie to vent.
- Bake pie. Bake for 35 – 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Prepare glaze and finish. Whisk together the glaze until a thick but still drizzle-able paste forms. Drizzle the pie with royal icing after the pie has cooled completely, then sprinkle with sprinkles and let the icing set.
- Serve. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Allowing the pie to cool completely before glazing ensures the icing sets properly.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Slits in the top crust help vent steam during baking to prevent sogginess.
