Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry cutter or food processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife
  • Basting brush
  • Aluminum foil (optional)
  • Cooling rack
  • 9-inch pie pan

Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

For the Strawberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Egg Wash

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or food processor, cut the chilled butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add Ice Water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix Strawberries: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the strawberries are evenly coated.
  • Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the pie pan.
  • Add Filling: Pour the strawberry filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
  • Top Crust: Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg mixed with water. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Cool: Allow the pie to cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
