The Easiest Fresh Strawberry Pie

First things first - let’s take a moment to admire the beauty of this pie. Just look at that lusciousness!

The Easiest Fresh Strawberry Pie This pie isn’t just a pretty face; it’s packed with fresh strawberries and a sweet gloss that’ll make you wonder why you ever settled for store-bought desserts. Plus, it’s super simple to whip up. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust (because let’s be real, who has time to make one from scratch?!)
1 ½ pounds of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (the star of the show)
¾ cup granulated sugar (because sweetness is life)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (to keep things together, like your Aunt Linda during family gatherings)
½ cup water (the elixir of life)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that zesty zing)
Whipped cream for topping (optional, but let’s be real, it’s never optional)

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (about the temperature of the sun on a hot day, but don’t worry, you’ll get through this).
Place your pre-made pie crust into a pie pan and bake it for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. This will make your kitchen smell like heaven, I promise!
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Stir until it’s nice and bubbly – it’s like magic (but without the wands and capes).
Once it’s all mixed up and looking good, add in your sliced strawberries, making sure they get a nice coating of the glorious mixture.
Pour this lovely strawberry goodness into the prepared pie crust. You’re so close to paradise!
Let the pie cool for a bit and then pop it into the refrigerator to set for about 3 hours. This is the hardest part – waiting! Grab a book, binge a show, or go for a jog. Do whatever you need to distract yourself.
After the waiting game, serve it up with a dollop of whipped cream. Because can you even call it dessert without whipped cream? I think not!

And there you have it! The Easiest Fresh Strawberry Pie that will impress your guests and your taste buds, while still being so easy your pet goldfish could probably make it too (okay, maybe not). Enjoy every last bite!
