Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt until well combined. Cut in very cold, unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- While the crust chills, prepare the filling by gently combining fresh strawberries, chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated and let sit for about 15 minutes.
- Remove one disc from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it gently. Pour the filling into the crust, spreading evenly.
- Roll out the second dough disc to a similar size. To make a lattice top, slice the dough into strips and weave them over the filling. Crimp the edges to secure the design. Brush the top with an egg wash.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes until the filling bubbles and the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 3-4 hours before serving to let the filling set.
