The Best glazed strawberry pie recipe

I’ve been making glazed strawberry pie for years, and it’s a family favorite. The recipe originated in the Southern United States, where strawberries are abundant and sweet.

The first time I made it, I was blown away by the combination of flavors and textures – the sweetness of the strawberries, the tanginess of the glaze, and the crunch of the crust. My kids love helping me make it, and they always ask for seconds.

It’s perfect for a special occasion or just a Tuesday night dinner. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also relatively healthy compared to other desserts.

The strawberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins, and the glaze is made from honey and lemon juice. My family is always impressed by how well I can make it from scratch.

It’s definitely a recipe that’s worth trying out if you haven’t already.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice-cold water

For the Strawberry Filling

6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze

1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

For the Topping

Whipped cream, for serving

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar for the pie crust.
3Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together.
5Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough discs into a 12-inch circle.
7Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the sides and bottom.
8Trim the edges, leaving about 1 inch of overhang.
9Refrigerate the pie crust while you prepare the filling.
10In a large saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
11Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
12Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
13Pour the strawberry filling into the chilled pie crust.
14Roll out the second disc of chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
15Place it over the filling, trim the edges, and crimp to seal.
16Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
17Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
18While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze.
19In a small saucepan, combine apricot preserves, lemon juice, and water.
20Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and smooth.
Set aside.
21Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
22Brush the glaze evenly over the top of the pie.
23Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
24Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
