Delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe - British Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • 2 cups rhubarb (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for acidity)
  • 1 package pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (to dot on filling)
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

    Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
  3. Prepare the Pie Crust

    Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Add the filling and dot with butter if desired.

    Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  4. Top the Pie

    Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

    You can create a lattice top for a classic look.
  5. Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

    Check the pie halfway through; cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  6. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
