Shoneys Strawberry Pie Copycat with Jello

Instructions:

1. Brush the inside of the pre-baked, cooled pie crust with melted butter to create a moisture barrier.
2. Whisk the strawberry gelatin, water, and apple juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
3. Once simmering, stir in the cornstarch slurry and whisk for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
4. Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes until lukewarm.
5. Toss the sliced strawberries with lemon juice and arrange them in a tight, overlapping pattern inside the prepared crust.
6. Slowly pour the cooled glaze over the berries, using a spatula to fill all gaps.
7. Refrigerate the pie undisturbed for at least 4 hours until the glaze is firm.
