Strawberry Rhubarb Streusel Pie Recipe

Makes 1, 9-inch pie

Rhubarb is a vegetable with a unique taste that makes it a favorite in many pies and desserts. The combination of rhubarb with strawberries is a traditional treat. 

1 recipe pate brisee, single crust 
Raw rice for weighting the shell

For the filling:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound fresh rhubarb cut into 1/2-inch chunks or thawed frozen rhubarb, about 4 cups
2 cups hulled and sliced strawberries (about 1 pint)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits

For the streusel topping:
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup red currant jelly, melted

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, and crimp the edge decoratively. Line the shell with foil, fill the foil with rice, and bake the shell in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove foil carefully and bake for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until it is completely pale golden.

Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F.

Make the filling: In a large bowl stir together the sugar, tapioca, pinch of salt, vanilla, rhubarb, strawberries, and the butter until the mixture is combined well and let filling stand, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Make the streusel topping: In a large bowl stir together the brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, walnuts, and a pinch of salt and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Spoon the filling into the shell, sprinkle with the streusel topping around the outer 2-inches of the filling, leaving the center exposed, and brush the edge of the shell with some of the egg wash. Bake the pie on a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven for 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F., and bake the pie for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the filling is bubbling and the rhubarb is tender. Brush the exposed (center) portion of the filling with the jelly and let the pie cool on a rack for 2 hours.
