Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
Binding/Wash Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Warm your oven to exactly 375°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position.
- Unroll one pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure the dough touches every corner smoothly.
- Spread exactly 1 cup of strawberry jam across the bottom crust in an even layer using the back of a spoon.
- Scatter 1 cup of fresh sliced strawberries over the jam, creating a uniform distribution.
- Roll the second pie crust on top of the filling, trimming excess edges and pinching them together to seal completely.
- Use a sharp knife to cut 4-5 small diagonal slits across the top crust for steam ventilation.
- Whisk 1 whole egg with a teaspoon of water, then brush the entire surface of the pie crust with this mixture.
- Place the pie in the preheated 375°F oven and bake for exactly 30 minutes until the crust turns a deep golden brown.
- Remove the pie and let it rest for 15 minutes on a wire rack to stabilize the filling.
- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing across the pie’s surface and sprinkle decorative toppings if desired.
Notes
- Chill the pie dough before rolling to prevent shrinkage and create a flakier crust.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the regular pie crust with a gluten-free pastry dough.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the icing or use a light glaze instead.
