Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 package (2 pie crusts) refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
3. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust. Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the crust, ensuring it is evenly spread.
4. Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
5. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.
6. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set.
8. Slice and serve the pie warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
