Summer is in full swing and with it so is berry season! There is something about pies and the warm weather and longer days that just go hand in hand. Whether you're looking for a sweet treat to cap off a beautiful meal or the perfect dessert to serve at your next barbecue, Gluten and Dairy Free Mixed Berry Rhubarb Pie is sure to become a favorite.
I love berries of all kinds. Whether it's the Ultimate Dairy Free Berry Icebox Cake or Dairy Free Lemon Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce, I am always looking for ways to incorporate berries into my recipes. I love them so much in fact that blackberry bushes are part of my landscaping plans for our new house.
Summertime Classic
Fourth of July is only a month away. Have you started planning out your menu? Gluten and Dairy Free Mixed Berry Rhubarb Pie with its vibrant bounty of fruit is a festive and delicious way to celebrate not just Independence Day but all of the long days of the summer.
With berries at season's peak this time of year, this dessert celebrated the gifts of nature. It doesn't take much to allow their sweet and tart flavors to shine.
For this recipe I am using a combination of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The rhubarb adds a bright, tart note that balances and accents all of the berries.
You can either make your favorite Gluten Free pie crust recipe, or take the help of the grocery store and buy a Gluten Free pie shell. What makes this pie extra special is the lightly sweet, crunchy crumble topping featuring rolled oats, brown sugar, Dairy Free butter, and Gluten Free 1.1 flour.
I love using Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour in all of my recipes. This allows me to take recipes with regular flour and easily recreate it to be Gluten Free without having to add additional ingredients. The work is already done for you.

Time needed: 9 hours.
- Pregame!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven and a second one in the center. This will keep your oven clean in the event and of the filling spills over while allowing the bottom crust to evenly brown and cook.

Make sure your Dairy Free butter is cold. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl for the crumble and mix to combine. Sprinkle all over the top of the berries.
- Bake it Up
Bake your pie for 45 minutes. At the 25-30 minute mark check on the color and lightly tent it with foil. This will prevent the top from getting too brown.
- Cool Down
Allow your pie to cool for an hour and then refrigerate it for 8 hours to fully chill. The only question is, Dairy Free ice-cream or whipped topping?
