Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe

This pie is one of my favorite strawberry recipes to make when we’re picking strawberries by the bowl in the garden. If you have strawberries growing in your garden or you’re heading to the strawberry farm to pick them, you need to try this recipe!

The recipe calls for one quart of strawberries and other basic ingredients – nothing fancy! All you do is bake the pie crust, fill it with strawberry filling and then chill in the refrigerator. It’s that easy!

You should let the pie chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set, but I recommend overnight if possible, especially if you’re making it during a Summer heat wave!

The result is a delicious fresh strawberry pie! You can serve as is, but I always add a spoonful of whipped cream on each slice!

How many strawberries are in a quart?

A quart of strawberries is around 1 1/2 pounds. Strawberries are often sold by the quart in grocery stores and farmers market, making it a perfect size to make this pie with. Here’s my tips on how to store strawberries in case you have an overabundance of them!

How to Make a Strawberry Pie Step by Step Directions

Bake the pie crust according to the box directions. This can be a store bought pie crust or homemade – whatever is easiest. I used a store bought graham cracker crust. It’s important you bake it before filling the pie!

Add some of the strawberries into the pie crust. I like to stand them up so the pointy side is facing up.

Simmer the remaining strawberries with sugar, cornstarch and water. Add this sugar mixture into the pie crust.

Cover the pie and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Remove from fridge and then cut the pie into slices and serve. Serve as is or with whipped cream, ice cream or powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!

Storing Leftover Strawberry Pie

Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered. You can either put plastic wrap over the entire pie dish, or cut into slices and put them in a airtight container. Strawberry pie is best used within 4 days.

Easy Summer Strawberry Pie (1 quart strawberries)

Easy Summer fresh strawberry pie that only takes 20 minutes to make. Bake a pie crust, fill it with 1 quart of fresh strawberries and let chill!
By: Pamela Reed
Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
serves 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust
  • 1 quart strawberries stems removed (a quart is 1.5 pounds)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Bake the pie crust in the oven according to the directions. You can use homemade or a store bought pie crust. If you're using homemade, bake as usual per your recipe. If you are using store bought, follow the instructions on the package to bake it.
  • Add 3/4 of the strawberries (whole, stems removed) into the baked pie crust, setting them pointed side up.
  • Add the remaining 1/4 of the strawberries into a medium-sized saucepan. Add sugar and mash berries using a spoon or masher until they're mushy. Place on the stove over medium heat and bring to a low boil, stirring frequently so the sugar does not burn.
  • In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and water with a fork.
  • Add cornstarch mixture to strawberries in the saucepan, a little at a time. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer, mixing frequently until it thickens up, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour hot mixture over the berries in the pie crust.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill. If possible, chill overnight for best results (especially during the hot Summer). Once chilled, cut pie into slices and serve. We love whipped cream or ice cream on top of ours! Enjoy!
