Description
A delicious summer classic pie made with ripe strawberries and tart rhubarb, perfect for warm weather gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups tart rhubarb, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 package (14 ounces) pre-made pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Begin by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, diced rhubarb, sugar, flour, sea salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated, then let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to flow.
- Take one pie crust and carefully lay it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Spoon the berry-rhubarb mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Scatter the small cubes of butter over the top of the filling.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling, trimming the edges as necessary. Crimp the edges to seal the pie, then cut a few slits in the top crust to let steam escape during baking.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a lovely golden sheen when baked.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust has turned a beautiful golden brown.
- Once baked, allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing, as this will help the filling set properly.
Notes
- For a sweeter pie, consider increasing the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a touch of warmth.
