Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen sweet cherries, pitted and halved
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, cherries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Toss until well coated.
  3. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and press it into the bottom and sides.
  4. Pour the cherry-rhubarb filling into the crust, spreading evenly. Dot with small pieces of butter.
  5. Top with the second crust, either whole with slits cut for steam or as a lattice top. Crimp the edges to seal.
  6. Brush the top crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 30-35 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden.
  8. Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain well before using to prevent a soggy pie.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth and depth.
  • Place a baking sheet under the pie in the oven to catch any juices that bubble over.
