How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 1 ½ cups chopped rhubarb in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes to soften.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Drain the rhubarb well and add it to the batter along with 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries. Gently fold to combine.
  8. Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.
  9. For the topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until crumbly.
  10. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pie filling.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
