Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your pie dish with a little coconut oil.
- Wash the rhubarb and strawberries thoroughly. Slice the rhubarb into half-inch pieces and hull the strawberries, cutting larger ones into halves or quarters.
- In your large mixing bowl, combine the fruit, coconut sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and cornstarch. Toss gently and let it sit for ten minutes to release the natural juices.
- Press your favorite plant-based pie crust into the dish, using a store-bought vegan crust or a quick homemade version using flour and chilled coconut oil.
- In the medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled vegan butter or solid coconut oil.
- Use your pastry cutter or fingertips to work the fat into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, ensuring an even distribution of the rhubarb and strawberries.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously over the fruit until you cover the entire surface of the pie.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet and slide it into the oven. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the filling bubbles and the topping turns golden.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least two hours before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your fruit is dry after washing to avoid a soggy bottom crust. Slice rhubarb thinly if thick, and keep the plant-based fat cold for a crispy topping. Cool the pie completely for cleaner slices.
