Strawberry Slab Pie

Step 1: On a lightly floured surface, roll out two pie crusts into a large rectangle.

Step 2: Press the crust into the jellyroll pan, ensuring the bottom crust fills all the corners.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla.

Step 4: Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth out.

Step 5: Take the remaining pie crust dough and roll it out on a cutting board or other surface.

Step 6: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the crust into long strips.

Step 7: Drape the strips of top crust diagonally over the strawberry layer.

Step 8: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the crust edges. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Be sure to keep an eye on the pie as it bakes. If the crust gets too brown, cover the edges with some aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Larger strawberries should be sliced into bite-sized pieces.
I recommend giving your strawberries a taste before you finish the filling. If they’re a little tart, add a little more sugar.
Feel free to use other kinds of berries for this dish. An apple slab pie is another great dessert!
Top your pie with a dollop of whipped topping or whipped cream, or even serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Allow the crust to come up to room temperature to make it easier to work with.
