Thaw 24 ounces of frozen strawberries completely.

In a bowl, combine the thawed strawberries, 1 cup of sugar, 8 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well.

Prepare a 9-inch pie crust by placing it in the pie dish and pricking it with a fork.

Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to prevent sogginess.

Pour the mixed filling into the pre-baked pie crust.

Roll out the top pie crust or prepare a store-bought one by peeling off the packaging.

Carefully flip the top crust onto the pie filling and remove the wax paper.

Trim the excess dough hanging over the edges of the pie crust.

Seal the edges of the pie crust by pinching them together with your fingers.

Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top crust for added crunch.

Place the pie on a pizza pan or baking sheet to catch any overflow.

Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F for 50-52 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
