Instructions

Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.

Step6Carefully arrange half of the pie crust strips from second pie crust about 1 inch apart on top of strawberries. Fold back every other strip halfway; arrange 1 of the remaining strips crosswise in center of pie. Fold strips back over. Repeat until lattice crust is created, alternating strips you fold back. Trim off excess pie crust with kitchen scissors.
