Guava Strawberry Pie (Pastel de Guayaba y Fresas)
Incorporating Cuban and American flavors and styles, this pie really is "the best of both worlds." Sweet, fruity, and comforting. It is everything a pie should be.
Ingredients
- 2x 9-inch pie crusts for one double-crust pie [Here's my personal favorite recipe]
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4-1 cup cup sugar depending on the sweetness of your fruit
- 2 cups of strawberries cut into 2-4 pieces
- 2 cups of guava peeled, seeded, and sliced into 1" x 1/2" pieces
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon and mix well.
- In a medium bowl, mix up your fruit and lime juice.
- Add your sugar mixture to your fruit, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Line your pie dish with one of your pie crusts and blind bake it for 10 minutes. Pull it out of the oven and pour your fruit mixture into it.
- Place the second crust over the pie and cut a few slits into it.
- Lower the oven to 400 degrees, and place the pie in the oven.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30-35 more minutes, until crust is a golden brown.
- Enjoy!
