Utensils & Equipment
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie plate
- 1 wire cooling rack
- 1 spatula or spoon
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 set of measuring spoons
Ingredients List
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 3 cups fresh strawberries stems removed and sliced
- 3 cups fresh rhubarb chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Place sheet of aluminum foil on bottom rack. This is to catch any juices that bubble from the pie while baking.
- Remove the crusts from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or as directed on the box.
Prepare The Filling
- Slice the strawberries and chop the rhubarb.
- In large bowl combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Toss gently and allow to sit for 10–15 minutes. This will allow the strawberries to begin releasing the juices.
Assemble The Pie
- Place bottom crust in pie plate and add the filling. Make sure the fruit is level across the top.
- Add the top crust and flute or crimp the edge. Cut at least 4 slits in the top crust to allow the filling to vent while baking.
Bake
- Bake on middle rack at 425°F for 15 minutes then reduce the temp to 375°F and bake for an additional 40–50 minutes.
- Pie is done when crust is golden brown AND when the filling starts to bubble.
Cool
- Allow to sit on wire cooling rack for at least 3 hours. This will allow the filling to thicken.
