Equipment
- 1 9-inch pie pan

- 1 rolling pin
- 1 saucepan
- 1 whisk
- 1 cutting board
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust 9-inch
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Gently fold in the halved strawberries into the cooled mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Pour the strawberry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature before slicing and serving.
