Ingredients

• 4 cups (diced) Fresh rhubarb
• 2 cups Fresh raspberries
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 9-inch (store-bought or homemade) Pie crusts
• 2 tablespoons (cut into small cubes) Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for topping) Coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Roll out one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving some overhang at the edges. Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust and evenly spread it out.

Step 4

Dot the fruit filling with the cubes of unsalted butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges of the crusts to leave about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the edges under and crimp them together to seal.

Step 6

Cut 4-6 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, or create a lattice pattern if desired.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust and edges of the pie. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top for added sweetness and texture.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9

If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie crust shield during baking.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving to ensure the filling sets properly.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
