Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Split the dough in half, shape into discs, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- In a separate large bowl, mix together the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss everything together gently. Let the mixture sit while you roll out the pie crust.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one chilled pie crust disc into a 12-inch circle and transfer it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the bottom crust and dot with butter.
- Roll the second chilled crust into a 12-inch circle and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top crust for ventilation. Crimp the edges to seal, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool completely for 3-4 hours before slicing. Serve warm, possibly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
