Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and optional ground cinnamon. Add cold unsalted butter and cold shortening, then pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough clumps together without becoming sticky.
  3. Divide the dough into two balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough ball into a circle, about 1/8 inch thick, and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour cooled strawberry filling into the bottom crust, then create a decorative lattice pattern using the top crust.
  6. Brush the lattice crust with an egg wash and sprinkle a little sugar over the top. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes.
  7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour, then refrigerate for an additional 2-3 hours before serving.
