Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 plant-based buttery pie crust
Strawberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Begin by preparing your plant-based buttery pie crust. Whether made from scratch or using a ready-made option, press the crust evenly into a pie dish. Blind bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) until it starts to turn golden, ensuring it stays crisp after adding the filling.
- Make the Strawberry Filling: While the crust bakes, prepare the filling by combining the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice (natural), vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the warm strawberry filling evenly into the pre-baked crust. Allow the pie to cool briefly at room temperature.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least two hours to let the filling set and flavors meld. Garnish as desired before serving.
Notes
- Choose bright red, firm strawberries without bruises for the best flavor and appearance.
- Do not skip chilling the pie to ensure the filling firms up and slices neatly.
- Use fresh lemon juice (natural) to enhance the fruity notes.
- Stir constantly while cooking the filling to avoid burning or sticking.
- Adjust sugar amount according to the sweetness of the strawberries.
