Ingredients

• 3 cups (about 300g) sliced rhubarb (1/2 inch pieces)
• 2 and 1/2 cups (about 380g) chopped strawberries
• 1/3 cup (67g) packed light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (32g) cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon (15ml) orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons (28g) vegan butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Make the filling: Stir the rhubarb, strawberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, orange juice, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Set filling aside as the oven preheats.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
3. Roll out the chilled pie dough: On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Spoon the filling into the crust, leaving all of the excess liquid in the bowl (you don’t want that in the filling—discard it). Dot the pieces of butter on top of the filling.
4. Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, I place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly.
5. Allow the pie to cool for 3 full hours at room temperature before serving. This time allows the filling to thicken up. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
