Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Nothing says summer quite like a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. The perfect balance of sweet and tart, this classic pie is packed with fresh strawberries and tangy rhubarb wrapped in a buttery, flaky crust. Whether you’re baking for a picnic, family dinner, or holiday get-together, this easy fruit pie is a seasonal must-bake.
I was happy to find the recipe for the Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie in my Gooseberry Patch Farmer’s Markets Favorites.

Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- Sweet and tart: The juicy strawberries and tart rhubarb complement each other perfectly.

- Perfect summer dessert: A timeless pie for cookouts, BBQs, and celebrations.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Prep the Fruit Filling
To make this pie, start by cutting up 5 cups of strawberries and 2 stalks of peeled and diced rhubarb. Dump it in a large 8-cup bowl

Then combine the flour, sugars, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir together.

Once the flour and sugar mixture is combined, dump over the strawberries and rhubarb. Then mix into the strawberries and rhubarb.

Assemble the Pie
In the meantime grab a pie crust. Let’s not beat around the bush. I buy my pie crust in a red box with the words Pillsbury across it. It tastes good and leaves no dishes for me to wash. Prep the crust and chill for ten minutes. Then add the berry mixture.

Next cube up about a tablespoon and a half of butter and dot on top.
Then make the crumble top with 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt mixed together then incorporating 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Sprinkle over top. This by far is one of my favorite parts besides the fruit. Love, love crumble-top pies.
Then it bakes. 400 for 50-60 minutes. Let it cool for about 2 hours before cutting.


But when you cut it, you will love it!! Love it. My husband didn’t but that is just because he “thinks” he doesn’t like rhubarb. Silly man. Who wouldn’t love this!
Tips for the Best Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- For extra flavor, brush the top crust with milk or egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Fresh rhubarb gives the best texture and flavor, but frozen works too (just thaw and drain).
- Place a baking sheet under the pie to catch any bubbling over.
Storage and Serving Suggestions
- To serve: Delicious warm or cold. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
- To store: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
- To freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe FAQs
Yes! Just thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie.
Feel free to use another pie crust for a double crust strawberry rhubarb pie or make a lattice top pie crust.
Flour works well, but you can also use cornstarch or tapioca if preferred.
