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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepGently press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn 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
StepSpoon the tomatillo-strawberry mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust. Distribute the thinly sliced butter evenly over the filling. (5 minutes)
05
StepCarefully 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
StepPlace 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
StepRemove 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)
