Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Rustic Sweet Baked Strawberry Pie
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. Cut the chilled unsalted butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers, working until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually mix in ice water until the dough holds together without being sticky. Divide it into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Adjust oven racks to the middle position.
- Rinse and slice fresh strawberries. Toss them with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well-coated.
- Roll out one chilled disc of dough to 12 inches in diameter and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into place.
- Pour the prepared strawberry filling into the pie crust and dot with unsalted butter pieces.
- Roll out the second disc of dough, place it over the filling, trim excess dough, and crimp edges to seal.
- Cut several slits in the top crust for steam to escape, giving a charming look.
- Brush the top crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling through the slits.
- Remove from the oven and cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
