Ingredients

2 cups sliced rhubarb
2 cups raspberries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
1 package (14 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced rhubarb, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the fruit is coated evenly.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the refrigerated pie crusts.
Pour the rhubarb-raspberry mixture into the pie crust, making sure it is evenly distributed. Dot the top with cubes of unsalted butter.
Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork or your fingers to create a decorative pattern.
Make a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, sweet finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Serve slices of this delicious Teenie's Accidental Rhubarb Raspberry Pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
