Gramma's Strawberry Pie

With all the fresh strawberries I just picked, I had to make a strawberry pie!  This one is chock full of strawberries, with no gelatin/jello. I must say that the outcome is yummy!  It stands alone or you can serve it top with freshly whipped cream or ice cream.  And, it's "easy as pie" to make!  Let's rock the kitchen!

INGREDIENTS:

2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts

1 cup white sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

¼  teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS:

·         Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place one crust in a nine-inch pie pan.

·         Mix together sugar, flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Then lightly stir in the berries.

·         Pour filling into the pastry lined pan and dot top with butter. Cover with top crust, and cut three to four slits in the top. Seal and flute the edges.

·         If desired, brush top crust lightly with milk and dust with sugar.

·         Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until the crust is slightly browned.

·         Enjoy with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.
