Place half of the sliced strawberries in the crust.
Combine remaining strawberries with sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a pot over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When mixture comes to a simmer, lower heat and mash some of the berries with a spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, until thick and glossy.
Add vanilla to strawberry mixture and stir to combine. Pour hot filling over the fresh strawberries in the crust; stir gently if needed.
