Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust. Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming any excess edges and crimping the sides for a neat finish.
- Make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
- Fill the crust. Pour the strawberry and sugar mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out to fill all areas.
- Bake the pie. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust; if it browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Cool and serve. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the sugar to ½ cup.
- To prevent a soggy bottom crust, bake the pie on a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a decorative touch, use pie crust scraps to create shapes or lattice on top of the filling before baking.
