Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water (add more if needed)

For the Strawberry Filling

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Form into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Make the Strawberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside to macerate while you roll out the dough.
  3. Assemble the Slab Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a large rectangle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the bottom crust, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Roll out the second disk of dough into a similarly sized rectangle and place it over the filling.
  4. Seal and Cut the Dough: Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together firmly to seal. Use a knife to cut small slits or decorative shapes on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Optional: Crimp the edges decoratively with a fork.
  5. Bake the Slab Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pie in a zigzag pattern.
  7. Add Sprinkles and Serve: Immediately sprinkle the glaze with rainbow sprinkles before it sets. Cut into squares and serve to enjoy this colorful, delicious dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
  • Add ice water gradually to avoid a sticky dough.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones; just thaw and drain excess liquid.
  • Let the pie cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
  • Store leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
