Scale
- 2 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb (about 1/2-inch pieces)
- 2 1/2 cups hulled and halved strawberries
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press firmly against the bottom and sides.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the crust and dot with butter pieces.
- Top with the second pie crust. You can make a lattice pattern or lay it flat. Seal the edges and crimp if desired.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh rhubarb and strawberries.
- The pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
