Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, a season's hallmark, is sweet, tangy, and delicious. Easy to make with simple ingredients, a ready-made crust, and a little time in the oven!
In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add strawberries, chopped rhubarb and vanilla. Toss together and let stand while preparing the crust.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 ready-made pie crust. If making a lattice top, see the notes section below.
Pour filling into prepared pie crust. Dot top with butter, and cover with top crust or make a lattice pattern and add to the top of the pie. Seal edges of top and bottom crust with water.
Brush egg wash on the top of the pie and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top. If using a solid top crust, cut 4 vent holes in the pastry.
Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Cool on rack.
Notes
Making a Lattice Top:
To make a lattice top for the pie, roll a ready-made crust until it's about 12-inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut strips 1/2 – 1 inch wide. Thread the strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave.
