1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
1/2 cup ice water

2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
2 cups rhubarb diced
1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste/may need more

1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp orange zest

Topping:

1 tbsp granulated sugar sprinkling

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
1 cup unsalted butter
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all of the water.
1/2 cup ice water
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine cranberries, rhubarb, sugar, corn starch, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix well and set aside.
2 cups cranberries, 2 cups rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest
Assemble the Pie:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish.
Pour the cranberry and rhubarb filling into the crust.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Pie:
Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
1 large egg, 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
