Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

• porzioni: 8 servings

Ingredienti

2 sourdough pie crust (see notes)

3 cups fresh rhubarb (chopped into 1/2 inch pieces, see notes)

2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped, see notes)

1 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch (see notes)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, chopped into small cubes)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg (lightly beaten in a small bowl for egg wash)

Istruzioni

Start by preparing 2 (9") pie crusts, one for the bottom and one for the top of the pie. The pie dough will need to chill for at least 1 hour before rolling out. Or use a store-bought pie crust and follow package directions.

Place oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

In a large bowl, mix the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, salt, lemon juice and zest, cornstarch, and vanilla together until fully combined. Set aside.

Remove the pie crust dough from the fridge and let rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc into a 12" circle that is ⅛" thick. Carefully lay the crust into the bottom of a deep dish pie plate. Spoon the strawberry rhubarb pie filling over the bottom crust.

Roll out the second disc of pie crust until it is 1/8" thick. Using a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the dough into 1' thick strips. Weave the strips over and under each other, gently folding back strips as needed to create the lattice. Press the ends of the strips firmly into the edges of the bottom crust to seal everything together. Trim any excess dough with a small knife or kitchen scissors.

Place the pie on a baking sheet. Brush the surface of the pie crust with the egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce to the temperature to 350°F, and cover the edges with a pie crust shield, and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes or until the top of the crust is golden brown.

Place the pie on a cooling rack and cool for 4-6 hours at room temperature. The filling needs time to set completely before slicing. If you cut into it too soon, it will be runny.
