Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the filling:
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ cup water
• For garnish:
• Fresh strawberries

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust. Add in the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than your pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
5. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water for the filling. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Place the sliced strawberries in the pie crust. Pour the sugar mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated. Arrange a few whole strawberries on top for garnish.
7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
9. Slice and serve the fresh strawberry pie with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
