    What is Baked Strawberry Pie?

    Baked strawberry pie reminds me a lot of apple pie in flavor and texture. Old fashioned strawberry pie is a type of dessert that typically consists of a pastry crust filled with fresh strawberries that have been mixed with sugar, cornstarch, and other ingredients such as cinnamon or lemon juice. The pie is then baked in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and cooked through. Baked strawberry pie is often served with whipped cream or ice cream and is a popular dessert during the summer months when strawberries are in season. If you are looking for a fresh strawberry pie you MUST try this strawberry cream cheese pie.

    You're going to love this recipe because:

    • It's simple to make!
    • The combo of the sweet strawberries and flakey crust is delicious.
    • Strawberry pie is nostalgic.

    About the Ingredients

    For this pie you will need

    Ingredients for Strawberry pie measured out into containers and placed on a tray.
    • 1 double pie crust - you can use store bought pie crusts, of if you want a delicious homemade crust check out our fool proof recipe.
    • fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced - when selecting fresh strawberries Look for bright red color: Choose strawberries that are bright red all over, with no white or green spots. The deeper the red color, the riper and sweeter the strawberry will be. Avoid strawberries that are mushy or have soft spots. They should also have nice fresh green tops.
    • pantry items - you'll need a handful of items from your pantry like granulated sugar, cornstarch, and spices.

    For a complete list of ingredients and amounts, see recipe card below.

    How To Make Baked Strawberry Pie

    This pie is probably the easiest pie you'll make!

    Dry ingredients and strawberries added to a glass bowl.

    In a large bowl:

    1. Add your corn starch,
    2. spices salt, and sugar.
    3. Add in your strawberries that have been washed, hulled and sliced.
    4. Give the mixture a squeeze of lemon juice.
    Stirring the dry ingredients together with strawberries and placed in a pie pan with pie crust.

    5. Stir the sugar mixture together with the strawberries

    6. Continue to stir until the sugar is incorporated. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

    7. Lay one of your pie crusts in the bottom of your pie pan. 

    8. Add your strawberries mixture.

    PRO TIP: The sugar will cause your strawberries to macerate (draw out extra liquid) this is natural and some liquid is completely fine. The corn starch will allow that liquid to thicken. If for some reason you feel your strawberries have macerated a lot of liquid you can drain some of the liquid out before adding to the pie crust.

    How to make a lattice pie crust:

    Four images showing how to make a lattice pie crust.
    • Roll out half of your pie dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch thickness.
    • Cut the dough into even strips using a pastry cutter or a sharp knife. The strips should be about ½-inch to 1-inch wide.
    • Place the longest strips of dough on top of the pie, spacing them evenly apart.
    • Fold every other strip halfway back, then place another strip across them, perpendicular to the first strips.
    • Unfold the strips that were folded back, then fold back the other strips.
    • Place another strip of dough across the pie, parallel to the first strip.
    • Repeat steps 6-8 until the top of the pie is covered in a lattice pattern.
    • Trim the edges of the strips to fit the pie dish, then fold the edges of the top and bottom crusts under and press them together.

    How To Get The Perfect Golden Crust On Your Baked Pie Crust

    • The secret to get the perfect golden pie crust is with an egg wash. Separate the egg yolk from the egg whites. Beat your egg whites with 2-3 tablespoon water. Brush on the top of the pie crust.
    • Top with a dusting of granulated sugar.
    • To keep the edges from over cooking cover with foil.
    • To keep the pie from falling keep it cold! A cold pie crust will hold its shape.

    FAQ's

    Can I make this pie strawberry rhubarb pie?

    Yes! instead of 6 cups of strawberries do 3 cups strawberries and 2 cups rhubarb.

    Can I use frozen strawberries or rhubarbs?

    I do feel fresh bakes the best and gives the best texture you can use frozen. Let them defrost before you toss in the sugar.

    Will the filling thicken?

    Yes, if you serve immediately it will be more runny, similar to an apple pie. I highly recommend serving it warm with ice cream. However if you let it come to room temp and store in the fridge it will continue to thicken.

    How do I store old fashioned strawberry pie?

    After baking a strawberry pie, you can store it at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
    Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, making sure that the wrap or foil is touching the surface of the filling. This will prevent a skin from forming on the filling.
    Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
    If you want to freeze the pie for longer storage,
    Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, making sure that the wrap and foil are both snugly pressed against the surface of the filling.
    Label the wrapped pie with the date and store it in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
    When you're ready to serve the frozen pie, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating it in the oven or enjoying it at room temperature.

    How do I Serve Baked Strawberry Pie?

    I highly recommend serving this pie warm with ice cream! You can also let it come to room temp, or make ahead and store in the fridge and serve with fresh whipped cream.

      We made this today even after draining the extra juice off of strawberries. It.was still like a stawberry soup pie. I would maybe cook strawberries down first then add cornstarch so you can make surw it's thick enough.

        Hi Melvin,

        I'm sorry you don't enjoy baked strawberry pie. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad recipe. Many love this recipe. It is reminiscent of apple pie. If you're looking for a fresh strawberry pie - check out our cream cheese strawberry pie. Maybe that is more what you are looking for. https://ohsodelicioso.com/summer-strawberry-pie/

      This pie was sooooo good! I didn't know you could buy rhubarb in a bag. I've totally looked for it in the produce with no luck. That looks easier to find and use for baking. Win win!
