These Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Bars are one of my favorite summer desserts. Filled with fresh strawberries and rhubarb, these fruit crumb bars are irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 10 Tbsp butter, cold and cubed
  • 4-5 Tbsp cold water
  • 3 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2” pieces
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tsp orange juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 10 Tbsp butter, cold and cubed
  • Whipped Cream
  • Ice Cream

Directions

  1. 1

    In the bowl of a standing mixer (or in a large bowl if you are using a pastry cutter or a fork), mix flour and salt together.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, mix flour and brown sugar together. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture, a little at a time until the mixture resebles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    On a floured surface, roll out your dough into a large rectangle, slightly longer and wider than your sheet pan. Transfer dough to your sheet pan (I like to transfer the dough by loosely wrapping it around my rolling pin and then unrolling it over the sheet pan).
