Description
A delicious homemade or store-bought double crust pie filled with tart frozen rhubarb and sweet blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe double crust pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 cups frozen rhubarb (cut into ½-inch pieces)
- 3 cups frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- 2½ tablespoons quick-cooking (instant) tapioca
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter (cold)
- 1 egg white (whisked with 1 tablespoon cold water)
- coarse sugar
Instructions
- If you are making a homemade pie crust, prepare the dough and chill it according to the recipe directions.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the oven rack in the lowest position. Fit the bottom crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and set it aside.
- Add the rhubarb and blueberries to a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, tapioca, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss until everything is well coated.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly. Dot the top of the filling with the pieces of butter.
- Roll out the top crust then place it over the filling. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges. Brush the top lightly with the egg white wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a few steam vents, and set the pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the pie for 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the vents. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover it loosely partway through baking.
- Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Cool for 2 hours, then refrigerate until cold before serving.
Notes
- This pie can be made with frozen fruit for convenience.
- Always allow the pie to cool before slicing to prevent the filling from oozing out.
