Method:

In a robo coupe (food processor) combine the flour, cold butter, and salt. Blend until butter is pea size.

Add cold water, blend until just combined into a ball.

Press into a disk (the thinner the faster it chills), wrap and chill.

Once chilled, roll dough out to 1/8 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter (or desired shape) cut as many rounds as you can, working outside inward.

You can press together scraps and reroll once, before dough will become tough when baked.

Place disks on sheet pan and chill (easier to assemble when cold).

Filling:

--1 #rhubarb, diced
--1 #apples, peeled and diced
--5 T tapioca starch (you can substitute 3T corn starch)

--1 1/8 c sugar
--Splash vanilla extract

Toss all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.

Place 1 heaping spoon of filling on half the disks. Brush the other half with egg wash.

Place egg wash side down on top of filling. Press the edges together with a fork, recut the round with biscuit cutter again for a clean look. Egg wash the tops, cut a split in center, sprinkle with sugar in the raw.
