Ingredients

  • 2 2 (14.1 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts
  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup water, or as needed
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Information

  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Cook Time: 50 mins
  • Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins
  • Servings: 16
  • Yield: 2 8-inch pies

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press a pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of each of two 8-inch pie plates.
  • Combine rhubarb and 1/2 cup of sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until rhubarb is soft and juice is pooling in the bottom of the bowl, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve.
  • Pour 2 cups rhubarb liquid into a saucepan; add remaining 1 cup sugar and lemon juice. Add serviceberries and rhubarb; cook over medium-high heat until thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Pour into two pie crusts. Top with remaining crusts and cut holes in the top to vent steam. Pinch the edges together to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.
