Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
- 2 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until well coated.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
- Roll out the top crust and place over the filling. Crimp edges to seal and cut slits or create a lattice pattern to vent.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Place pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30–35 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Use a pie crust shield or foil on edges if browning too quickly.
- Pie can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
