Ingredients
For the Filling:
-
2 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
-
2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
3 tablespoons cornstarch
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Crust:
-
1 package (2 sheets) store-bought pie crusts (or use homemade)
-
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
-
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
-
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges if needed.
-
In a large bowl, mix rhubarb, berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until combined.
-
Pour the filling into the crust-lined pie dish. Dot with small pieces of butter.
-
Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. You can cut it into strips to create a lattice top or keep it whole and cut a few slits for steam.
-
Seal and crimp the edges. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
-
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
-
You can use frozen berries and rhubarb—just don’t thaw them before mixing.
-
If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.
-
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra deliciousness.
