1⁄4 cup cornstarch
1 1⁄4 cups sugar

1⁄4 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced in half
3 Tbsp. butter
2 pie crusts (9 inches), unbaked

Directions

Step 1
Heat the oven to 350°F. Adjust rack to lower third of oven. Press 1 piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate.

In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the rhubarb and strawberries. Gently toss to coat. Tip mixture into the prepared pie shell and dot with the butter.
Step 3
Brush the edge of the bottom pie shell with the beaten egg so that the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the dough to 1 inch of the panʼs edge. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom edge. Crimp the dough using your fingers. With a knife, cut 4 or 5 slits in the top to vent steam.
