Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   To catch any delicious drips, place a pie dish on a baking sheet—this little trick saves you from a messy oven later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine your freshly sliced strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, tapioca, and a squeeze of zesty lemon juice.

4. Step 4

   Give it a good stir and let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Step 5

   This waiting time allows the flavors to mingle and create a delightful filling.

6. Step 6

   Next, roll out one of your pie crusts and gently fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.

7. Step 7

   Pour the luscious fruit filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

8. Step 8

   For an extra touch of richness, dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to cover your pie with the second crust.

10. Step 10

    Seal the edges by pressing them together, and crimp them with a fork for a charming finish.

11. Step 11

    Don’t forget to cut several slits in the top crust; this allows steam to escape and keeps your pie from getting soggy.

12. Step 12

    Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 55 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling starts bubbling with excitement.

13. Step 13

    Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t over-brown.

14. Step 14

    Once it’s done, let it cool for a bit before serving, and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb in every bite!.
