Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups rhubarb stalks, diced
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, diced rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to coat the fruits evenly with the sugar mixture.
Unroll one pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the pie crust.
Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim off any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Make a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
Serve the strawberry rhubarb pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
