Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh rhubarb
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 9-inch rounds Unbaked pie crust
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and slice it into 1/2-inch pieces to make 3 cups.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced rhubarb, crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 4

Roll out one of the pie crust rounds and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough that hangs over the edges.

Step 5

Pour the rhubarb and pineapple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Dot the filling with small pieces of butter (2 tablespoons total).

Step 7

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and seal the edges by crimping them with a fork or your fingers.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust evenly with the egg wash to encourage browning.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours to set before slicing.

Step 12

Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
