CRUMB-TOPPED STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk 1 cup of flour and salt in a bowl.

Shape the dough into a ball, and roll out into a 12-inch circle on a floured work surface. Crust will be thin. Fold the dough gently into quarters, and lay into a 9-inch pie dish; unfold the dough and center the crust in the pie dish. Trim the crust to 1/2 inch of overhang, and crimp or flute the edge of the crust. Refrigerate crust while making filling.

DEEP DISH CRUMB TOPPED STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor, pulsing to combine. Add in the butter and pulse until butter is the size of peas. Add in the vanilla and water, pulsing again just until the dough comes together, adding more water by the tbsp if necessary. Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thick round. Peel off the top sheet of paper. NOTE: My preferred method to rolling pie dough is on a non-stick pie mat (I buy it from King Arthur flour). I lightly dust the mat. I prefer a french rolling pin, and start in the middle and roll out, then make a 1/4 turn of the dough. Roll, turn, roll, turn, sometimes lifting the pie dough to lightly dust with more flour if necessary. My pie dough never sticks, this way! I place the rolling pin on the edge of the rolled dough and drape the pie crust and gently roll it on the pin; then unroll it over my pie plate. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Discard the paper, if using. Trim the overhang to 1/2-inch and crimp edges if desired. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Line the crust with parchment paper or foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is set, about 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans. Brush the crust with the egg glaze. Bake until light brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely. NOTE: My pie crust baked a much darker color than I prefer. I would suggested using a pie crust shield, or you can simple roll strips of foil to fit around the pie crust edge. For the topping: Increase oven temperature to 375. Combine the oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse in the butter until crumbly. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until use. For the filling: NOTE: If using Clear Jel, whisk it in with the sugar. ClearJel does a remarkable job of preventing runny fruit pies Love this product! Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch (if not using ClearJel), cinnamon and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan. Allow to macerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer until juices thicken, about 3 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Cover with the topping. Bake for 35 minutes or until topping is golden and juices are bubbling. Cool on rack. Serve warm or at room temp. To make ramekins: Instead of making the pie crust, simply fill ramekins with the strawberry filling, then use the topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until filling is bubbly. Serve warm, or at room temp, topped with vanilla ice cream.
