Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I don't usually make pie because all that crust and filling is messy. This pie, though? Worth it.

For the crust:
- 1-1/2 cup shortening butter works, but not as well
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of white sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
For the filling:
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 pound fresh rhubarb cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 pint fresh strawberries cored and halved
For the crumb topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking or rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cold butter
To make the crust:
Dump the shortening, flour, salt, and sugar into a large bowl and work it together with a pastry cutter until you have coarse crumbs.
Pour in the egg, water, and vinegar and stir until just combined.
Separate into 2 balls of dough and place in freezer bags.
Place each bag in the freezer. You'll only need one ball of dough for this pie, the second should keep in the freezer for 6 months or more.
Remove one ball of dough after 20 minutes in the freezer and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10 inch circle.
Place the dough in the pie pan and tuck the edges under to make a neat, thick crust around the edges. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork.
Place in the refrigerator until ready to fill.
To make the filling:
In a large bowl, beat together the egg, sugar, flour, corn starch, and vanilla until well combined.
Dump in the strawberries and rhubarb and toss to coat in the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.
To make the crumb topping:
In a medium bowl, cut together the flour, sugar, oats, and butter with a pastry cutter until you have coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
