Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• Ice water (approximately 6-8 tablespoons)
• For the filling:
• 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• For the egg wash:
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt for the crust.
2. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, drained crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract for the filling. Mix until well combined.
7. Roll out one disc of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough in the pie dish and trim any excess.
8. Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
9. Roll out the second disc of chilled dough and place it on top of the filling. Seal the edges of the pie by crimping them together.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash.
11. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
12. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
13. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
14. Slice and serve the delicious Pineapple Rhubarb Pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
