Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Egg, Beaten
- 1 tsp Water
- 2 1/2 cups Rhubarb, Chopped
- 2 1/2 cups Strawberries, Chopped
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 tbsp Minute Tapioca
- 1 tbsp Flour
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Flour
- 3/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco
- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Cold Water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the pie crust ingredients: flour, Crisco, and salt. Gently stir in cold water to form a dough.
- Split the dough in half. Roll out the first half on a floured surface and place it in a pie pan, pressing it into shape.
- Roll out the second half of the dough and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them on top of the filling.
- Brush the crust edges with water and place the top crust over the filling.
- Press the edges together with a floured finger or fork and trim any excess crust.
- Beat the egg with water and brush it over the top crust, sprinkling with sugar. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Use foil to cover if the crust darkens too much.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing.
Notes
For a deeper color, add a bit more lemon juice to the filling.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
Make sure to let the pie cool completely before cutting to help maintain its shape.
