Slice of Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients

For the pie crust:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 to 8 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water for brushing the crust)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt for the crust. Add diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water slowly until the dough comes together.
  2. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir until the fruits are well coated.
  5. Roll one disc of dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the fruit mixture into the crust.
  6. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits for steam to escape. Brush the top with the egg wash.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool before serving. Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Pie!
