Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
On December 12, 2023 by userStrawberry Rhubarb Pie is a classic dessert that beautifully combines the sweet taste of strawberries with the tartness of rhubarb. Here’s a simple recipe for making this delicious pie:
Ingredients:
For the Pie Filling:
- 3 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pie Crust:
- 2 pre-made pie crusts or homemade if preferred
For Egg Wash (Optional):
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust:
- If using pre-made pie crusts, follow the package instructions. If making your own, roll out the pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Prepare Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the fruits are evenly coated.
4. Assemble the Pie:
- Place one rolled-out pie crust into the bottom of the pie dish.
- Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
- If you have a second pie crust, you can create a lattice pattern or place it as a whole on top of the filling. If using a whole crust, cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
5. Optional Egg Wash:
- If you want a golden brown crust, brush the top crust with a beaten egg.
6. Bake:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling set.
- Serve the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Enjoy this delightful Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, perfect for the spring and early summer when fresh strawberries and rhubarb are in season!
