Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin – use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 cups Rhubarb (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for sprinkling on crust)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking it.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the dish.
Pour the apple-rhubarb filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling, and trim any excess dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
Seal the edges by crimping them together with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to ensure the filling sets properly.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
