- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
- Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, mix strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Let mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow juices to release.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
- Place the rolled dough in the pie dish and fill it with the fruit mixture.
- Roll out the second disk of dough and cover the filling; seal edges and cut slits for steam.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
- Allow pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
