Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to coat the strawberries evenly.
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or slab pie pan.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the strawberry filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Berry Mix: Add blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries to the strawberry filling for a fun twist.

Crust Options: Use store-bought pie crust for simplicity or make your own buttery dough for a homemade touch.

Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warmer flavor, especially in fall.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
