Encased in a buttery, flaky double crust—whether classic or lattice-style—this pie is baked to golden perfection. A glossy egg wash and optional sprinkle of coarse sugar add an irresistible sparkle and crunch. Perfectly set after cooling, it’s ideal for slicing and pairs beautifully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. With its vibrant color, delightful contrast of flavors, and easy-to-follow instructions, this pie is destined to become your go-to recipe for warm-weather gatherings and family celebrations.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to coat the fruit evenly.
Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides.
Spoon the strawberry-rhubarb filling into the prepared crust and dot the top with small cubes of butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. You can leave it whole for a classic top or cut it into strips for a lattice design. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges together to seal.
If using a whole top crust, cut a few slits in the center to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush it lightly over the top of the pie crust.
If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top for added texture and sweetness.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set.
Slice and serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired!
