Creating your own Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps:

1. Make the Pie Crust:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
– Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
– Divide the dough into two balls, flatten them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:
– In a medium bowl, mix the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
– Let the mixture sit for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Preheat Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. Roll Out the Dough:
– On a floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
– Transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.

5. Add Filling:
– Pour the strawberry and rhubarb filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

6. Top with Second Crust:
– Roll out the second disc of dough to cover the pie. You can either place it whole as a top crust or cut slits for a lattice design.
– If using a whole crust, cut slits for ventilation.

7. Egg Wash:
– Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.

8. Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

9. Cool:
– Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before slicing to let the filling set.
