Ingredients:
Pie Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 ounces butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Pie Filling:
1 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1 quart strawberries, rinsed, stemmed, and dried
1 pint whipped cream for garnish
Instructions:
Pie Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the flour, room temperature butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for the crust. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the crust all over.
Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Strawberry Pie Filling:
While the crust is baking, combine water, granulated sugar, salt, cornstarch, and red food coloring in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
Once the crust is cool, arrange the berries in the crust and pour the thickened glaze over the top.
Refrigerate until the glaze is set. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped dessert topping.
Now you can enjoy the scrumptious taste of Big Boy's Fresh Strawberry Pie right in the comfort of your home!
