butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

Roll out tart dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thick.

Grease an individual pie pan.

Press the dough into the pan, trimming off the excess.

Bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.

Prepare the filling by combining 2 parts rhubarb with equal parts light brown sugar and honey.

Braze the rhubarb in the oven at 375°F (190°C) or on a saucepan until soft.

Add the strawberries to the cooked rhubarb and cook for a few more minutes until strawberries lose some texture.

Split one vanilla bean and add it directly to the filling mixture.

Once the crust is baked, fill it with the strawberry-rhubarb filling, packing it in well.

If the filling seems loose, make a slurry with cornstarch and the excess liquid from the filling and add it to the pie.

Create a lattice top for the pie.

Bake the pie for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the lattice is browned and the filling is bubbling.
