Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups rhubarb stalks, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
2 tbsp butter, diced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well combined.
Roll out half of the pie crust and place it in a pie dish.
Pour the fruit filling into the crust and dot with butter.
Roll out the second half of the crust and cover the filling; cut slits for steam to escape if using whole dough.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Allow cooling before slicing.
