Homemade Strawberry Pie Recipe: Easy and Delicious

Jun 15, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y’all! I was largely inspired to cook by the women in my family. In true Kentucky fashion, they can whip up an award-winning meal (likely with their eyes closed!) and not even break a sweat. While I didn't inherit their grace, I did inherit a love for their recipes -- and one of my auntie JJ's signatures is her Homemade Strawberry Pie Recipe. I’ve hardly ever known a time where I couldn’t find a slice of strawberry pie in her refrigerator. I'd argue that it's a rite of passage of your visit at her house! The best part? JJ's Homemade Strawberry Pie Recipe could not be easier to make!

Frequently Asked Questions

JC's note: The key to making the best pie is to use the highest-quality of strawberries. The batch that you are seeing in these photos was made using strawberries grown by a close family friend, Henry, here in Kentucky. It’s best to make these pies when the fruit is in season, but you can certainly make them year-round! I do find, however, that this pie is best served in the summertime. Try it at your next cookout, pool party, church potluck, or family function!

Homemade Strawberry Pie Recipe
Can you use a pre-bought pie crust?

Absolutely -- and I usually do!

Do the strawberries have to be locally-grown/in-season?

No, but the pie will be better if they are. Make this recipe during peak season, but do know that you can make it all year.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 frozen pie crust thawed
  • 1 qt fresh strawberries stems removed, halved
  • ⅔ c sugar
  • ½ c water
  • 3 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • whipped cream for topping

Instructions
 

  • Bake the pie crust according to the listed instructions.
  • In a large bowl, crush strawberries. I typically do this with the backside of a fork. Leave some of the berry mixture thick, while allowing juice to extract from the crushing. Add sugar and vanilla. Stir well.
  • Add strawberry mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Allow mixture to reach a low boil, cooking until the fruit has softened.
  • Whisk together water and cornstarch; add to strawberry mixture and return the mixture to a boil (medium-high heat). After reaching a boil, reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer until thickened. Stir frequently.
  • Transfer strawberry mixture to pie crust + refrigerate for 5 hours. Top with fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!
