Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the dish evenly and trimming any excess edges.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Toss gently to evenly coat the strawberries with sugar, allowing them to release some juice.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the sugared strawberry mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out to fill the pie shell thoroughly.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled pie in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling thickens and bubbles and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling time helps the filling set for easier slicing.
Notes
- For a sweeter pie, increase sugar up to 1 cup according to taste and strawberry sweetness.
- Optionally, sprinkle the top crust with sugar before baking for a crunchy finish if using a lattice or double crust.
- Make sure to cool the pie completely to allow the filling to thicken properly.
- Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor; avoid frozen as they release too much moisture.
