Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumb Pie
- 1 recipe Traditional Pastry Piecrust dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie (page 5)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (to glaze the crimped pie edges)
- Cinnamon Sugar Crumb Topping (page 12)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca (see page 46)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 cups hulled and quartered (lengthwise) strawberries (approximately 1 pound strawberries)
- 3 cups trimmed 1/2-inch-thick slices rhubarb (approximately 4 large rhubarb stalks)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold and cut into small piece
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle.
- Wrap the remaining half of dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days.
- Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate.
- Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish.
- Set the pie shell to the side while you make the filling.
- To prepare the filling, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, and salt.
- Place the strawberries and rhubarb in a large bowl, and sprinkle with the sugar mixture, making sure all of the fruit is thoroughly coated.
- Immediately transfer the strawberry-rhubarb filling to the pie shell (if left sitting too long, these fruits will create a lot of juice, resulting in a soggy pie) and dot the filling with the butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar crumb topping over the strawberry-rhubarb filling, covering it completely.
- To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbling.
- Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and set for 1 1/2 hours before serving.
- Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumb Pie is best served at room temperature or warmed to 350F for about 10 minutes.
- It will keep at room temperature overnight and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
