Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
A classic and delicious pie featuring the perfect balance of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb, all encased in a flaky, buttery crust.
Ingredients
Method
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb and strawberries. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, and lemon juice. Pour the dry mixture over the fruit and gently toss to coat.
- Assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Pour the fruit filling into the crust. Dot the top with the small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second disk of dough. You can place it as a solid top crust, cutting vents, or cut it into strips for a lattice top. Place the top crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
- Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Notes
For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit filling. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
