Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim any excess.
6. In a large saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil.
7. Pour the strawberry filling into the prepared pie crust.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
10. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
