I really wanted to make a Strawberry/Rhubarb Pie, but Rhubarb is impossible to find this time of year and I didn't even have any luck trying to source out some frozen ones. So as an alternative I decided to make an Apple/ Strawberry Pie.

4 cups of thinly sliced Granny Smith apples
2 cups of thinly sliced Strawberries.
1 TBSP of Lemon Juice
1/2 cup of Sugar
3 TBS of Flour
Nutmeg and cinnamon are optional although I use a few pinches of each.

Toss the above and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

I don't make my own piecrust as I don't have enough counterspace to work on it properly. Frozen is fine. Let it thaw in the fridge and then let it come to room temp for 15-30 minutes.
Line your pie-plate with the dough and pour in the filling, then cover with the second layer of dough. (Use a little water to brush in between for good adherence).

Brush the top with a lightly beaten egg yolk, sprinkle with sugar and cut a few vent holes.
Place in a preheated oven on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes
Reduce to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes.

It should come out like this:

Depending on how sweet or tart you prefer this type of pie, just adjust the sugar level by an 1/8th of a cup or so.

Enjoy!

YUMM!

That pie looks delicious.

Is your photo showing the pie in a 9" or 10" pan?

It's a 9" Pyrex Pie Plate.

The first slice went down very nicely. It had a nice balance of sweetness and tartness with a hint of nutmeg & cinnamon. I also liked the ratio of Apples to Strawberries. Sadly I didn't have any Ice Cream at hand, but I'll rectify that later today.

Here's a slice after I cut into it after about 30 minutes of cool down time.

I'm not a rhubarb fan so strawberry / apple sounds good to me. The pie looks great!

That's a mighty big slice you took!

Make sure you use a good dense ice cream like Haagen Dazs.

Stay away from the highly aerated ones like Breyers where the texture is lousy. A good pie requires good creamy ice cream.
