Ingredients:
- 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the 5 cups of quartered strawberries with the 0.75 cup sugar, 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1.5 teaspoons vanilla, and 1 tablespoon flour until the berries are evenly coated in a white film.
- Unroll one pie crust onto the parchment paper. If it’s round, gently roll it into a 9x13 inch rectangle. It doesn't have to be perfect.
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Lightly brush the entire surface of the bottom crust.
- Pile the strawberry mixture onto the center of the crust, leaving a 1 inch border all the way around.
- Roll out the second crust to the same size and carefully drape it over the strawberries.
- Press the edges of the top and bottom crust together with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges firmly until they are flattened and sealed.
- Brush the top with the remaining egg wash. Use a knife to cut 8-10 small slits in the top crust until you can see the fruit underneath.
- Place in the oven for 35 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and juices bubble through the vents.
- Let the pie cool completely (about 1 hour). Whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream together, spread over the cooled pie, and top with sprinkles before the glaze sets.
