Everyone declares it’s the best Strawberry Pie ever and we know your family will agree. Just don’t tell anyone how easy it is to make!
Have you ever wanted to make a pie at home but felt intimidated by all the work? What if it comes out all wrong? Well, I’m here to tell you YOU CAN DO IT!
Why Is This The Best Strawberry Pie?
There are a lot of strawberry pie recipes out there but I’ll proudly claim that this is the best strawberry pie recipe ever made. Here’s why.
This recipe is foolproof. Not only does it come together fairly easy, it also tastes truly scrumptious. Not too sweet, not too tart, it’s just right. Plus, it’s also the perfect texture.
Lastly, a lot of recipes say to use gelatin and I’m personally not a fan of that. Strawberries stuck in gelatin jail is not my idea of the best strawberry pie ever. I’ll keep my strawberries in gelatin for recipes like Strawberry Pretzel Salad. I prefer strawberries that are bright red, fresh, ripe and overflowing off the sides of the slice in a deliciously thick glaze. YUM!
PRO TIP: Keep the pie crust from getting soggy from the strawberries by adding a tablespoon of butter to the strawberry mixture. Works like a charm.
Are you ready to make the simplest and best strawberry pie you’ve ever made at home? Promise you’ll LOVE it.
