This pie isn't very different from a traditional strawberry rhubarb pie, but since we're using a baking sheet with raised edges, it's big enough to feed a huge crowd. Not to mention that this recipe uses fresh ingredients to create a perfect combination sweet and tart. Try making this for your next big gathering!
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 375
- Prepare your homemade pie crust and divide into two separate portions
- Crack egg into small bowl and whisk to prepare egg wash

- Juice the same orange into the bowl of fruit
- Add white sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, pepper, and salt over the fruit and mix well
- Roll out half of the pie crust and layer the base of the edged baking sheet
- Pour fruit mixture into the dish
- Roll the other half of the pie crust and layer it over the top
