🥧 How To Make Strawberry Pie

- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Toss to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges.
- Pour the strawberry filling into the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust. You can create a lattice design or cover it completely with slits for ventilation.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
