Strawberry Recipes for Kids: Easy as Pie

I have a hard time getting my kids to eat different fruits. They normally stick to the same three - bananas, apples and grapes. So, I am always searching for desserts and other recipes that use fruit to try to get them to try it. I know it is probably backwards to offer them a sweet dessert, but honestly it is one of the only ways that I can get them to try a new fruit! My recent quest was to find strawberry recipes for kids and since I am not the best in the kitchen I stuck to an easy strawberry pie. Below you will find my ingredients and instructions for you to make this recipes too!

Here are the ingredients I used to make this delicious strawberry pie. Since I am always trying to keep it as simple as possible I used a refrigerated crust, but you are more than welcome to make a homemade crust for your pie!

• Refrigerated pie crust
• 2 cups strawberries {sliced}
• 1 box Strawberry gelatin

1. Start by preheating the oven to 350.
2. Place the pie crust in pie pan and crimp the edge.
3. Use a fork to poke holes in bottom and bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are brown.
4. Allow to cool.
5. Layer bottom with the sliced strawberries.
6. Stir together the water, sugar, and cornstarch and bring to a boil. Simmer and stir constantly until thickened.
