Servings 4 - 6
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Hand mixer
- Wire Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 10-15 strawberries stems removed & sliced
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg beaten
- Raw sugar
- 1 half a pint of heavy whipping cream
- Powdered sugar to taste
- 1 vanilla bean seeds removed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Clean the strawberries, then remove the stems and slice them lengthwise.
- Place the sliced strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch on top.
- Gently stir the strawberries until the sugar and cornstarch are evenly covering the berries.
- Layer the berries overlapping each other inside the pie crust, starting one inch from the edge.
- Fold the edge of the dough over the strawberries.
- Brush the dough with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the edges with the raw sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the whipped cream by pouring the heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Add powdered sugar until the cream is at your desired degree of sweetness (I used 2 tablespoons).
- Gently remove the seeds from the vanilla pod and place them into the whipping cream.
- Using a hand mixer, beat on high until the whipping cream is thick and fluffy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire cooling rack for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with homemade whipped cream. Enjoy.
