How to Make Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie 1951

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, chilled cubed margarine, salt, and sugar. Cut in the margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
  4. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it evenly covers the bottom and sides. Prick the crust all over with a fork.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. If the crust puffs up, prick it again with a fork.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. Arrange sliced strawberries in the cooled pie crust, cut-side down, ensuring the shell is completely filled.
  8. In a small saucepan, whisk together water, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Stir in red food coloring (optional).
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until the glaze thickens. Do not boil.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  12. Pour the slightly cooled glaze over the strawberries, allowing it to gently seep between the slices.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set.
  14. Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry (optional).
