Ingredients

2 cups diced rhubarb
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
2 pie crusts, homemade or store-bought
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and set aside for 15 minutes, allowing the fruit to release some juices.
Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Press the crust gently against the sides and bottom of the dish.
Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Dot the top of the filling with the cubes of butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and cover the filling. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before serving. This pie can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Serve slices of this delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Pie on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
