Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 complete pie crust recipe (for top and bottom)

→ Filling

02 - 4 cups rhubarb stalks, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces
03 - 4 cups strawberries, cleaned and chopped small
04 - 1 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/3 cup tapioca flour
06 - 1 tablespoon orange zest
07 - 1 pinch salt

→ Topping

08 - 1 egg for egg wash

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, tapioca flour, orange zest and salt in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly and allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes to soften the tapioca.
02 - Remove homemade or store-bought crust from refrigerator and rest for 10 minutes to soften. Flour your rolling pin and roll each disc to 1/8 inch thickness. Place bottom crust gently onto the pie plate.
03 - Add the filling to the bottom crust. Place top crust over filling and crimp edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust or create a lattice pattern with strips. Brush completely with egg wash.
04 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Place pie on the bottom rack and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - The pie can be stored at room temperature for 2 days if covered with foil or plastic wrap
02 - Refrigerate for longer storage of 4 to 5 days
03 - To freeze, wrap tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap for 6 to 8 months preservation
