Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 ½ cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, sugar, flour, orange zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss everything together gently until the fruit is well-coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure to trim any excess dough hanging over the edges, but leave just enough to crimp later.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add a lattice crust on top, but it’s totally optional.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the edges of the pie crust to give it a beautiful golden color once baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours. This will help the filling set up a bit.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy! You can serve it warm or at room temperature, and it pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
