Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, combine the pie crust ingredients: flour, Crisco, and salt. Gradually add in the cold water, mixing gently.
Divide the dough in half and roll out the first half on a floured surface. Place it in a pie pan and gently press it into place.
Roll out the second half of the dough and set it aside on a floured surface.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, chopped strawberries, sugar, minute tapioca, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix until blended well.
Pour the fruity mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them over the filling.
Brush the edges of the pie crust with water and cover it with the top crust.
Seal the edges of the crust by pressing together or crimping with a fork. Trim any excess dough.
Mix the beaten egg with water, then brush it over the top crust. Sprinkle with sugar and cut slits to allow steam to escape.
Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbly. If the crust darkens too quickly, shield it with more foil.
Allow the pie to cool before serving.

Notes

For a thicker filling, consider increasing the amount of minute tapioca.
Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert combination.
Make sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing to prevent the filling from running.
