This easy Rhubarb Pie recipe is a classic American dessert that is both tart and sweet, with a flaky crust and a juicy filling.

Ingredients
- 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pie crusts, store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the rhubarb is evenly coated.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the pie crust, and dot with small pieces of unsalted butter.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Fold the edges of the top crust under the edges of the bottom crust and press to seal. Use a sharp knife to make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
- Slice and serve the easy rhubarb pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
