My mom gave me this summer perfect pie recipe and I ran with it! It is a delicious strawberry rhubarb pie with only 8 ingredients (and that includes crust). Perfect for summer (no baking) and really quick! Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups crushed graham crackers |
1/4 cup melted butter |
1 pound fresh strawberries, halved lengthwise |
1/2 cup diced rhubarb |
3/4 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup water |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Line the bottom of the pie crust with 1 layer of strawberry halves.
2. Place the remaining strawberries in a saucepan and crush (there should be about 1 cup of crushed berries); stir the rhubarb, sugar, water, and cornstarch into the crushed berries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. Turn off the heat, let the mixture stand until slightly cooled, about 2 minutes; stir in the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the pie dish over the strawberry halves.
3. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
