Step 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Set aside. Step 3 Next, in a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the beaten egg mixture. Set aside. Step 4 Then, line a deep 23 cm (9-inch) tart pan with the first pie crust. Spread the strawberry filling evenly on the bottom crust and brush the edges of the crust with the egg mixture. Step 5 Cover the pie with the second pie crust, making a small incision in the center to allow steam to escape. Trim off any excess dough around the edges of the tart and seal by pressing the rim with a fork or your fingers. Step 6 Finally, brush the top of the delicious strawberry pie with the remaining egg mixture or milk. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Step 7 Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before serving it cold or slightly warm. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Like it? Share it!
