Quick tip regarding the pie crust:
If you want perfectly cut slices instead of more crumbly, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and heat the pie shell for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
This will allow the crust to harden a bit more before being filled with the strawberry filling. This step is completely optional, the pie will taste just as fabulous as no-bake too!
