Description
This Strawberry Slab Pie is a celebration of summer’s juiciest fruit, baked into a flaky crust and perfect for feeding a crowd. It’s easy to serve, simple to prep, and guaranteed to impress with its golden lattice top and jammy strawberry filling.
Ingredients
6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
1⁄4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 pie crusts, homemade or store-bought
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Roll out two pie crusts into large rectangles. Chill both until firm.
2. In a bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Let sit 10 minutes.
3. Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with one crust. Pour in the strawberry filling and spread evenly.
4. Cut the second crust into strips and arrange a lattice on top (or cover fully with slits).
5. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40–45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
7. Cool for 30–45 minutes before slicing into squares.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Use cold dough for a flakier crust.
Let the pie cool before slicing to allow the filling to set.
For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar before baking.
