A classic strawberry rhubarb pie with a flaky all-butter crust and a sweet-tart fruit filling, perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

  • 1 all butter double pie crust (for a 9 inch deep pie dish)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Raw sugar (optional)
  • 450 g rhubarb (approximately 910 stalks)
  • 660 g strawberries (approximately 4.55 cups)
  • 30 mL lemon juice (2 tbsp)
  • 250 g sugar (1 ¼ cup)
  • 45 g cornstarch (4 ½ packed tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the all-butter pie crust and divide into two portions. Chill both portions for at least 1 hour.
  2. Roll out one portion and line a deep pie dish without stretching the dough. Trim edges and chill.
  3. Roll out the second portion for the top crust and chill.
  4. Slice rhubarb and strawberries and place in a bowl. Add lemon juice and sugar, mix gently, and let sit for 1 hour.
  5. Drain the fruit mixture using a sieve. Reserve the liquid and refrigerate the fruit.
  6. Reduce the drained liquid in a saucepan over medium heat until about ¾ cup remains. Let cool slightly.
  7. Mix the fruit with lemon zest, vanilla, and cornstarch. Add the reduced liquid and combine.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) with a baking tray inside.
  9. Fill the chilled pie crust with the fruit mixture.
  10. Top with the second crust (full or lattice), seal edges, and crimp.
  11. Chill the assembled pie for 30 minutes.
  12. Brush with egg wash, add vents if needed, and sprinkle with raw sugar if desired.
  13. Place pie on the preheated tray, reduce oven to 350°F (180°C), and bake for 60–70 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  14. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not skip chilling steps to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Let the pie cool fully to allow the filling to set properly.
  • Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
  • You can use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
