Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Use a food processor to pulse the pretzels into fine crumbs, leaving a few small pieces for texture. Alternatively, crush pretzels in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using a measuring cup or fingers to pack it tightly.
- Chill the pressed crust in the refrigerator for 25 minutes or the freezer for 10-25 minutes until set.
Notes
Ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing with the pretzel crust.
You can adjust the sugar in the strawberry topping based on your sweetness preference.
This pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
