In a large bowl, combine the apples and strawberries; drizzle with lemon juice. Combine sugar and flour; sprinkle over fruit and toss lightly.
Line a 9-in. pie place with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over pastry. Cover edges loosely with foil.
Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; remove foil and bake 35-40 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped topping if desired.

A really delicious pie! I only used half the amount of sugar since the fruit is already sweet and it was perfect. Instead of cinnamon and sugar for the topping, I gave a generous shake over the top of Penzey's new Pie Spice. I will definitely make this pie again!
This was quite delicious with adjustments. Used about 1 3/4 cups strawberries and 4 1/2 cups apples. Added cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in with the sugar and flour mixture. Also added about 1 teaspoon of orange zest for some oomph. Dotted about 1 tablespoon of chopped cold butter on the apple/strawberry mixture before putting the top crust on. Followed another reviewer’s comments and used an egg wash, as well as lowering the temperature to 375 rather than 350.
I really did not care for this at all. Just didn't like the cooked strawberries. Unfortunately, the best part was the crust and I will not be making this again.
This was a very average recipe. I've never eaten a pie with cooked strawberries, and I found the cooked strawberry flavor was a little off in this recipe. I used a standard 9 inch Pyrex pie plate and used almost twice the apples and about 50% more strawberries. The cooking time was wrong. I baked it for 20 min. instead of 10 at 450, then lowered it to 350. I should have only lowered it to 375 as most recipes call for. If you choose to make this recipe, DEFINITELY use an egg wash over the crust!
