🍓 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
3️⃣ Let the crust cool completely before adding the filling.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Glaze

1️⃣ In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and water until fully combined.
2️⃣ Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 5-7 minutes).
3️⃣ Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry jelly, mixing until fully melted and incorporated.
4️⃣ Let the glaze cool to room temperature before assembling the pie.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1️⃣ Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly in the cooled pie crust.
2️⃣ Pour the cooled strawberry glaze over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully coated.
3️⃣ Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set.
