Welcome to the pie of my childhood. Growing up, my dear aunt used to work at a coffee shop where they served the best strawberry pie! She would often bring us home leftovers, which we’d happily eat. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we’d get to have a slice of this amazing pie when we’d visit her at work.

When I think back, our family gathering wasn’t a gathering until the strawberry pie arrived. I used to request this pie every year for my birthday as a child. It was the one gift I couldn’t wait to receive!

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST STRAWBERRY PIE

1. Use ripe, in-season strawberries. In-season strawberries are typically bigger, fresher, and sweeter.
2. Make homemade whipped cream. While I understand the convenience store-bought whipped cream provides, there is nothing like homemade whipped cream!
3. Bake the pie crust according to the directions. This is very important. Whether you intend to buy a pie crust or make it from scratch, following the directions will ensure that your pie crust will come out perfectly out of the oven.
