Ingredients

Scale
- Double pie crust of choice
- 6-7 cups (1420-1670 ml) ripe strawberries
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated white sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cornstarch
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp egg wash
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- If making your own crust, divide the dough in two, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Roll out one piece of dough (or store-bought crust) and line a pie dish. Press the dough firmly along the bottom and sides.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped strawberries, both sugars, salt, and vanilla bean scrapings. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain the strawberry mixture and discard the liquid.
- Add cornstarch and stir to coat the berries evenly.
- Spoon the filling into the pie dish, over the bottom crust.
- Cut butter into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the filling.
- Roll out the second piece of dough (or store-bought crust) and cut into strips.
- Weave the strips over and under each other to create a lattice top.
- Press firmly on the edges to seal the strips.
- Brush the top crust with egg wash.
- Cover the pie with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove parchment paper and bake for another 20 minutes, until golden-brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 3 hours.
- Slice and serve, or cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of fresh and frozen strawberries; the frozen ones will help thicken the filling.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
