Instructions
Creating your Easy Homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Pie can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir until the fruits are coated well.
- Prepare the Pie Dish: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure it covers the bottom and sides. Trim the edges if needed.
- Add Filling: Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter for added flavor.
- Top Crust: If desired, cover with a second pie crust, or create a lattice top for a traditional look. Seal and crimp the edges to avoid any spillage.
- Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it onto the top crust for a golden finish while baking.
- Cut Vent Holes: If using a whole top crust, make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
Follow these steps carefully for a beautifully baked Easy Homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Pie that will impress everyone.
