Best 4 Winnies Mini Rhubarb Strawberry Pies Recipes

MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIES IN MUFFIN TINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out three pie crust (into 12-inch rounds) onto a flat surface. Using a large cookie cutter or any circular lid, cut out a 4-inch circle of dough. Press each dough circle into the bottom of a muffin tin cup, keeping the top edge of the dough flush with the top of the muffin tin. Repeat with remaining dough to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Use the remaining dough to create a top lattice crust to cover each pie: use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out ½-inch x 3¼-inch thin strips of dough and set aside. (I gathered the smaller dough scraps together, added about a teaspoon of water and formed a ball of dough. Then dusted it with flour and rolled it out and cut it into strips for the rest of the lattice top.)
• In a large mixing bowl, add rhubarb, strawberries, raw sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt; toss to coat.
• Fill each cup with1/3 cup pie filling.
• Weave the dough strips together to form a lattice top on each pie. Use your fingers to gently connect the lattice crust onto each pie where it meets. (Or for an even quicker topping option mix up a crumble topping like this one.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and lightly brush over the top of the dough, then sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees. The filling should be bubbling and the crust golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Then very carefully loosen the edges of each pie with a knife, and gently lift out from the muffin tin. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk egg, 4 tablespoons ice water and vinegar until blended. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in lard until crumbly. Gradually add egg mixture, tossing with a fork, until dough holds together when pressed. If mixture is too dry, slowly add additional ice water, a teaspoon at a time, just until mixture comes together., Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, mix sugar and tapioca. Add rhubarb and strawberries; toss to coat evenly. Let stand 15 minutes., On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry even with rim., Add filling; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Brush milk over pastry; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place pie on a baking sheet; bake 20 minutes., Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake 45-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool pie on a wire rack.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the pastry: combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, work half of the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Quickly work the remaining butter into the dough until the biggest pieces are the size of lima beans. Drizzle in the water in several additions, tossing and mixing between each. (It should look rather ropy and rough.) Stop adding water when a few bits of dry flour remain in the bottom of the bowl; do not overwork the dough or it will become tough. Gather two-thirds of the dough and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Do the same with the remaining third. Flatten into disks. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. When the dough is chilled, roll out the larger piece and line a nine-inch pie pan.
• If rhubarb is thick, peel it. Combine rhubarb and strawberries in a bowl. Mix sugar and tapioca together and fold gently into the strawberries and rhubarb. Allow to macerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425.
• Spoon fruit into pastry shell and dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry, cut into strips three-quarters of an inch wide and weave a lattice to cover the pie. You can simply lay the strips on top in criss-cross fashion if weaving is not one of your skills. Seal, trim and crimp the edges. Brush the lattice with milk and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 40 minutes longer, until pastry has browned and filling begins to bubble. Let pie cool completely before serving, at least 3 hours and up to overnight to set the filling.
