For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter in the filling. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent the pie loosely with foil. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Experience the quintessential taste of summer with this Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. A symphony of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb nestled beneath a golden, intricately woven lattice crust. Each bite evokes memories of sun-drenched days and the simple pleasures of homemade goodness.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
Halve pie dough. On a floured surface, roll out half of the pastry dough into a circle to fit a 9-inch pie plate; gently place it in the pie plate. Roll the remaining half into a 10-inch circle; set aside for the lattice crust. (20 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine the hulled strawberries, diced rhubarb, 1 cup of sugar, all-purpose flour, diced butter, and ground nutmeg. Gently mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared bottom crust. (10 minutes)
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside for sprinkling on the lattice crust. (2 minutes)
Cut the top crust into ¾-inch wide strips (a scalloped pastry cutter adds a nice touch). Moisten the rim of the bottom crust with water. Create the lattice by laying strips across the pie, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Press the lattice strips onto the bottom crust edge to seal; trim any excess dough neatly. (30 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the lattice crust. Return to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, approximately 30 minutes more. (40 minutes)
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. (2 hours)
