Fresh Strawberry Pie – Quick and Easy Recipe!
I love this recipe for fresh strawberry pie because you don’t need to turn the oven on, and the berries provide most of the sweetness. You can make a single crust pie shell if you like or you can use a graham cracker crust. The graham cracker crust tastes wonderful and saves you the trouble of making and baking that pie crust when the weather is warm.

Notes
Make it Vegan if You Like…
This recipe contains no gelatin, unlike many of the recipes for fresh strawberry pies I found online. If you make the crust with coconut oil, this will be a vegan recipe.

Thanks so much, Laurie! Happy to share 🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for! My son doesn’t like gelatin either and this is also the way mom used to make it. Thanks! We picked 11# of berries this week so I’m making this tomorrow
How wonderful! Enjoy!
Well that’s just so pretty! And yummy too I’m sure.
Oh that looks so yummy! I love summer most because of Strawberries and Watermelon!
I just made a strawberry pie for our Father’s Day cookout yesterday – I added blueberries to mine as well. Used a baked crust, and gelatin in my recipe. Tastes like summer!
