Description
Fresh strawberries cooked down and turned into a strawberry pie, but not any old freshly baked pie. A tart pie glazed with royal icing and topped with sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- Rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease a 9” pie plate.
- 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.
- 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 for 35 – 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- 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.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
- Let the pie cool completely before adding the glaze.
