Ingredients

Crust:

• Store-bought Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Dough (or make your own using this recipe)

Filling:

• 2 1/2 cups chopped fresh red rhubarb
• 2 1/2 cups strawberries, sliced into larger pieces
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons Kraft Minute tapioca
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons butter, cubed small

Topping:

• 1 egg white, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
• Course raw sugar for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F
   • Oven rack should be in middle of oven.
2. Prepare the Filling
   • In a large bowl, mix the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
   • Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the tapioca to begin absorbing some of the juices.
3. Assemble the Pie
   • Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
   • Dot the top of the filling with small cubes of butter.
   • Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg white wash.
   • Roll out the other piece of dough and place it over the filling.
   • Crimp the edges or use a fork to press the crust together to seal the pie.
   • Brush the top crust with the egg white wash and sprinkle generously with large granule sugar.
4. Bake the Pie
   • Cover the edges of the pie with foil to prevent over-browning.
   • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any filling that may spill over and for easier handing of the pie.
   • Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes on middle rack.
   • Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the filling bubbles and the crust is a nice golden brown.
5. Cool and Serve
   • Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly. It may take a few hours but very necessary for serving.
   • Enjoy this delicious Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect dessert!
