Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pie crust (whole recipe for top and bottom)
  • 4 cups rhubarb (stalks cut small 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 4 cups strawberries (cleaned and chopped small)
  • 1 cup sugar (granulated)
  • ⅓ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instruction

  • Prepare The Filling: To a large bowl add the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, tapioca flour, orange zest and salt. Toss everything together well then allow the filling to rest for 15 to 30 minutes before baking, for the tapioca to soften.
  • Craft your crust: After removing your home made or store bought crust from the fridge you’ll want to allow it to rest for up to 10 minutes, this will make it easier to roll out. Once it’s softened you’ll want to flour your rolling pin, to prevent the dough from sticking, and get to work. Each disc will need to be 1/8 of an inch thick. Place the dough gently onto the pie plate before crimping the edges and removing any excess dough.
  • Assemble your pie: Add the filling to your bottom crust, roll out your top crust in the same way described above and drape it over your pie. Crimp and seal your edges before slicing vents in the top crust with a knife or if you really want to impress, cut into long strips and weave a lattice crust. From there you will brush with your egg wash mixture, making sure to seal the edges.
  • Bake the pie: Preheat your oven first to 425 F degrees. Add the pie to the oven, on the bottom rack and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 F degrees and bake for another 45 minutes to an hour or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
