Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the pie crust ingredients: flour, Crisco, and salt. Gradually stir in the cold water until the mixture is combined.
Divide the crust mixture in half. On a floured surface, roll out the first half and place it gently into a pie pan, pressing it down.
Roll out the second half of the dough on a floured surface and set it aside for later use.
In a large bowl, mix the chopped rhubarb and strawberries with sugar, minute tapioca, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla until well blended.
Pour the filling into the prepared bottom crust in the pie pan.
Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them over the top of the strawberry rhubarb filling.
Moisten the edges of the crust with water, then place the top crust over the filling.
Seal the edges by pressing together or crimping with a fork and trim any excess crust.
In a small bowl, beat egg and water together, then brush the mixture over the top crust. Sprinkle with sugar and cut slits for steam to escape.
Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling. If the crust darkens too quickly, shield it with additional aluminum foil.
Allow the pie to cool before slicing.

Notes

Chill your butter flavored Crisco before using for a flakier crust.
Feel free to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
