Indulge in the nostalgic flavors of a classic strawberry Pop-Tart in the form of a delightful pie with a golden crust and sweet strawberry filling, topped with a sugary glaze and colorful sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
For the pie:
- 2 store-bought or homemade pie crusts (9-inch)
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 lbs. fresh strawberries, hulled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- Rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9” pie plate.
- Cook the filling: In a pot over medium-low heat, combine water, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla. Cook until strawberries soften (4-5 minutes). Add cornstarch and cook until mixture thickens (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Assemble the pie: Place a bottom crust in the pie plate, add the warm strawberry filling, top with another crust, crimp edges, and vent the pie.
- Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and half and half until a drizzle-able paste forms.
- Glaze and serve: Drizzle the cooled pie with icing, sprinkle with nonpareils, and let it set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can customize the glaze with different food coloring for various occasions.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
