Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 unit egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, rhubarb, 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough disks to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, letting the excess hang over the sides.
Pour the blueberry-rhubarb filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second dough disk. You can either place it over the filling as a full crust or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
