Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe double-crust pie crust
- 2 1/2 cups rhubarb (chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 2 1/2 cups strawberries (washed, hulled and cut into pieces about the same size as the chopped rhubarb)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons minute tapioca
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- as needed Extra sugar (for sprinkling on top of crust)
Instructions
- Prepare double-crust pie crust recipe. Roll out one half of the crust and cover the bottom of a pie dish, while reserving the other half of the dough for the top crust.
- Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon zest and juice, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a large bowl and pour out into prepared crust. Slice the butter into small chunks and place them around the top of the strawberry rhubarb filling.
- Roll out the remaining half of the pie crust and gently place it over the filling either as a solid crust with slits cut into it for ventilation or by cutting into strips and laying them out in a lattice pattern. Crimp to seal edges.
- Make an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl, then brush it over the top of the pie with a pastry brush and sprinkle the top of the pie with a teaspoon or two of sugar.
- Loosely cover the edges of the pie with foil and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Decrease temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is a golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
Notes
- This pie is best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a sweeter pie, feel free to adjust the sugar to taste.
