Found it!! Week b4 Rosh hashana.. Its called Rhubarberry Pie.

Serves 12-16

Filling
1 16oz (450g) bag frozen rhubarb
1 16oz (450g) bag frozen cranberry- blueberry blend (such as bodek) or 8oz (227g) frozen cranberries and 2 peeled,cored, and diced baking apples such as Cortland
1¼ cups sugar
3 Tbsp cornstarch
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp lemon extract - optional

Dough
2¼ cups flour
⅔ cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk (reserve white for brushing if desired)
¼ cup oil
¼ cup orange juice
coarse sugar for sprinkling

In a medium pot, place all filling ingredients. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer about 15-20mins until fruit is softened and begins to thicken. Turn off heat allow to cool.

In a separate bowl combine dough ingredients until mixed well. You should have a soft dough.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Divide dough ingredients in half; press half the dough into a 9x13inch baking pan to forma thin crust. (You do not need to go up the sides of the pan). If the dough is too thick pull off excess dough and add to reserved half.

Spread rhubarberry filling over crust. With floured hands, roll remaining dough into long thin strands. Use additional flour as needed. Place half the robes diagonally accross pan and remaining ropes across the other way, forming a lattice design. Brush ropes with reserved egg whites if desired. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake 45mins to 1 hour until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.

ENJOY!!!!!
