Ingredients
Scale
- All Butter Pie Crust or Homemade Pie Crust
- 3 cups sliced rhubarb (1/2-inch pieces)
- 2 and 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon milk
- optional: coarse sparkling sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by chilling the dough for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, orange juice, and vanilla, stirring well. Set aside.
- Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a floured surface until it's 12 inches in diameter, then place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the fruit mixture, reserving any leftover juices.
- If needed, reduce the reserved juices in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until thickened, then pour over the filling in the crust.
- Dot cold butter pieces over the filling, and refrigerate while rolling out the top crust.
- Roll the second disc of dough to 12 inches, cut into strips, and weave over the pie for a lattice top. Seal the edges by pressing them into the bottom crust.
- Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350°F (177°C), add a pie crust shield, and bake for another 50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Let the pie cool on a rack for at least 5-6 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Make sure to refrigerate the pie crust for optimal texture.
Allow the pie to cool completely to avoid a runny filling when slicing.
Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delicious serving suggestion.
