Best Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Lattice Pies Recipes

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB MINI PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In bowl, place reserved strawberry juice. In another bowl, mix 1/3 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch; using whisk, beat into reserved strawberry juice. Stir in strawberries and rhubarb.
• Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll on work surface. Cut three 3 1/2-inch rounds and three 4 3/4-inch rounds from each crust. Firmly press each 4 3/4-inch round in bottom and up side of each of 6 ungreased 6-oz custard cups. Divide strawberry-rhubarb mixture evenly among custard cups.
• Place one 3 1/2-inch round over filling on each. Seal crusts with crimp. Cut slits on top of each. Sprinkle with remaining sugar, dividing evenly among pies. Place custard cups in 15x10x1-inch pan.
• Bake 32 to 36 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIES IN MUFFIN TINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out three pie crust (into 12-inch rounds) onto a flat surface. Using a large cookie cutter or any circular lid, cut out a 4-inch circle of dough. Press each dough circle into the bottom of a muffin tin cup, keeping the top edge of the dough flush with the top of the muffin tin. Repeat with remaining dough to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Use the remaining dough to create a top lattice crust to cover each pie: use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out ½-inch x 3¼-inch thin strips of dough and set aside. (I gathered the smaller dough scraps together, added about a teaspoon of water and formed a ball of dough. Then dusted it with flour and rolled it out and cut it into strips for the rest of the lattice top.)
• In a large mixing bowl, add rhubarb, strawberries, raw sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt; toss to coat.
• Fill each cup with1/3 cup pie filling.
• Weave the dough strips together to form a lattice top on each pie. Use your fingers to gently connect the lattice crust onto each pie where it meets. (Or for an even quicker topping option mix up a crumble topping like this one.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and lightly brush over the top of the dough, then sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees. The filling should be bubbling and the crust golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Then very carefully loosen the edges of each pie with a knife, and gently lift out from the muffin tin. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB LATTICE PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously spray 6 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add rhubarb; cook about 7 minutes or until very soft. Add strawberries and granulated sugar; cook until mixture begins to thicken slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice, ginger and cinnamon.
• Pour mixture into blender. Add cornstarch; cover and blend with on-and-off pulses until pureed. Set aside.
• On large cutting board, unroll pie crusts. Cut 3 (4-inch) rounds from each crust. Press rounds into muffin cups, leaving crust edges hanging over sides of cups. With knife, trim crust edge slightly to even out crust hanging over edges.
• Spoon 1/2 cup strawberry-rhubarb filling into each crust-lined muffin cup.
• Using pizza cutter, cut remaining pie crust into 42 strips, about 3 inches long and 1/8-inch wide. For each mini pie, weave 8 strips together to create lattice square; cut square with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Gently place lattice round over top of filling in crust-lined muffin cup. Roll overhanging pie crust edge to meet lattice top.
• With pastry brush, brush tops of each mini pie with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cold.

WINNIE'S MINI RHUBARB & STRAWBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Place tapioca in a small food processor or spice grinder; process until finely ground., In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, tapioca and, if desired, food coloring; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until strawberries are tender, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight., Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to an 18-in. circle. Cut 12 circles with a 4-in. biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary; press crust onto bottom and up sides of ungreased muffin cups. Repeat with remaining dough, cutting 6 more circles. Spoon strawberry mixture into muffin cups., Bake until filling is bubbly and crust golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool. If desired, serve with whipped cream.

LATTICE-TOPPED STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in shortening and butter until coarse meal forms. Blend in enough ice water 2 tablespoons at a time to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; cut in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap separately in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
• Make filling:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Toss gently to blend.
• Roll out 1 dough disk on floured work surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim excess dough, leaving 3/4-inch overhang.
• Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Cut into fourteen 1/2-inch-wide strips. Spoon filling into crust. Arrange 7 dough strips atop filling, spacing evenly. Form lattice by placing remaining dough strips in opposite direction atop filling. Trim ends of dough strips even with overhang of bottom crust. Fold strip ends and overhang under, pressing to seal. Crimp edges decoratively.
• Brush glaze over crust. transfer pie to baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake pie until golden and filling thickens, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.

RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: Mix together rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, zest and juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Make the crust: Roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in filling; dot top with butter. Refrigerate while making top crust.
• Roll remaining disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into at least 15 1/2-inch-wide strips using a fluted pastry cutter.
• Lay 8 strips across pie. Fold back every other strip, and lay a horizontal strip across the center of the pie. Unfold folded strips, then fold back remaining strips. Lay another horizontal strip across pie. Repeat folding and unfolding strips to weave a lattice pattern. Repeat on remaining side. (Here is a detailed how-to.)
• Trim bottom and top crusts to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears, and press together to seal around edges. Fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Brush crust with egg wash, and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Bake pie on middle rack, with a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack to catch juices, until vigorously bubbling in center and bottom crust is golden, about 1 1/2 hours. (Loosely tent with foil after 1 hour if crust is browning too quickly.) Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool for at least 2 hours (preferably longer) before serving.
