Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the strawberry filling into the crust.
  4. Roll out the second crust, cut slits for a lattice design or simply cover the filling and cut slits for steam to escape.
  5. Beat the egg and brush it over the crust.
Baking

  2. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the pie and sprinkle with rainbow sanding sugar.

Notes

For best results, don't overwork the dough and consider adding fresh mint leaves when serving. This pie can be made with other berries as well.
