Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Gently press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, combine the sliced tomatillos, strawberries, instant tapioca, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently until well combined. Allow the mixture to stand for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to dissolve and the fruit releases some of its juices. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Spoon the tomatillo-strawberry mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust. Distribute the thinly sliced butter evenly over the filling. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully cover the pie with the second pie crust. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut several slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (50 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (2 hours)

For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the filling.
If your tomatillos are particularly tart, you may want to add a bit more sugar to the filling.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of decadence.
To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the pie with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
