Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Spring Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 cup white sugar
02 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch slices
04 - 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

→ Pie Crust

05 - 1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for a double crust 9-inch pie

→ Topping

06 - 2 tablespoons butter
07 - 1 large egg yolk
08 - 2 tablespoons white sugar for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
02 - Mix the flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Add rhubarb and strawberries, toss with the sugar and flour mixture, and let stand for 30 minutes.
03 - Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with butter, cover with the top crust, and seal edges using water.
04 - Brush the top crust with the egg yolk, sprinkle with sugar, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
05 - Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well before preparation.
