Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie

May 17, 2011 120 Comments

Makes one 9 inch pie

Whoever first thought that these two complete opposites would make a great pair should be given the biggest blue ribbon there is, or maybe just a Nobel Peace Prize. Tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries, who can argue with that? A cinnamony crumb topping seals the deal (literally.)

The season is almost upon us and I’m growing my own pie patch here in the clumpy Omaha soil. Fresh is best, but truth be told, even if you have to use frozen fruit, this pie will still hit all the right notes. The key to using frozen strawberries is to slice them when they’re still frozen. You can use your favorite single pastry crust, store-bought or homemade (there’s a great one in Veganomicon and another in Vegan Brunch.) If you’d like to veganize a non-vegan favorite, just swap out the butter for half Earth Balance shortening and half Earth Balance margarine.

My pie patch. Yes, I need to weed.

Every pie is made better with vanilla ice cream, but this one is especially so. The recipe is from our upcoming book, Vegan Pie In The Sky.

Unbaked single pastry crust, fit into a 9 inch pie plate, edges crimped

Filling:
3 cups rhubarb, sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen (see tips page XX), sliced 1/4 inch thick
2/3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup non-hydrogenated margarine, melted
(or canola oil)

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Combine all of the filling ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients for the topping. Drizzle in the margarine and use your fingers to swish around the mixture until crumbs form. Some of the topping is still going to be sandy and that’s fine, just so long as you have mostly nice big crumbs.

Add filling to the prepared pie shell and top with the crumb topping. Cover loosely with tin foil and poke a few holes in the foil to let steam escape.

Bake for about 20 minutes at 425 F. Lower heat to 350 F, and remove the tin foil. Bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, filling should be bubbling and the crumb topping should be golden. Place on a cooling rack and let cool for about 30 minutes before serving.

    silly question: does “prepared pie crust” mean that i have to prebake the crust first? i currently have my basic pastry crust recipe raw sitting in my pie plate. does this mean i’m all set to put in the filling?

      It just means that you should have it prepared in the pie plate, we could be more clear about that! So you’re all set.

    Made this as a strawberry-rhubarb crisp instead ( I don’t have the patience for pie crust) and it was amazing! My boyfriend ate almost all of it in two days (and he was holding back). Thanks again for the perfect summer dessert!

    Made this today, my first pastry outing for 15 or more years. It looks and smells amazing and was do easy…. Almost too easy for someone on a diet!! I used cornstarch instea of tapioca as UK is rubbish for ingredients and water instead of lemon as my lemons were green and fuzzy 🙁

    Feeling very proud of my effort!

    Thank you for this recipe! I couldn’t find rhubarb so I took the advice of some other chefs and used granny smith apples. Also substituted corn starch for the tapioca flour. Though it came out delicious, it looks more like a bread bowl filled with borscht than a pie 🙁 What did I do wrong?

    I just made this pie this afternoon and was a little disappointed by the texture of the filling. Luckily, the flavor is great, so it’s not much of a loss. I still wonder where I went wrong, though. I made some changes, but I don’t think those were enough to cause the results I had. I didn’t have a pie pan, so I used a 9″ round cake pan and used cornstarch instead of tapioca flour because I didn’t have any. I used fresh strawberries for this recipe. Everything turned out well, including the topping, but the filling was so runny that it spilled out when I cut the pie and my slice just collapsed on my plate. It’s still delicious, but it looks like mush. The filling looked firm when I took the pie out of the oven (I baked it for the full 35 minutes after I took the tin foil off). I don’t know if the tapioca flour would’ve made much of a difference, but I want to try it next time along with buying a pie plate.

    The questions you should ask your plastic surgeon before rhinoplasty
    should be about the safety of the procedure, its
    efficiency, and most importantly, its appropriateness for your
    body and whether it would offer results in line with your
    expectations. Nathan Newman is world renowned for his advanced cosmetic surgery procedures.
    At $10,000 it was exactly one tenth cheaper than the same surgery in the United States, which would
