Recipe Notes
*I baked my frozen pie crust according to the package instructions. I thawed the crust for 15-20 minutes, pricked all over with a fork, and then baked
in a 400 degree F oven for 11-14 minutes, until lightly browned.

• This pie is best when prepared on the same day that you plan to serve it. I do not recommend assembling the pie the night before, because the berries
naturally release juices as they sit — making the crust soggy.• I like the shortcut of using a
refrigerated pie crust (opens in a new tab)
or
a frozen pie crust (opens in a new tab),
which I bake according to the package instructions. If you prefer, you can use your favorite homemade deep-dish pie crust recipe and blind-bake the crust
before filling.• Use the sweetest, freshest berries that you can find for the sweetest pie! I don’t recommend using frozen strawberries in this recipe.•
Garnish the pie with homemade whipped cream, canned whipped cream (such as Reddi-Whip) or whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), if you like. It’s also great
served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!• You can also use this strawberry pie filling and glaze with a graham cracker crust.
Here's an easy, step-by-step recipe to make your own graham cracker crust at home (opens in a new tab).
