Delicious Easy Rhubarb Pie Recipe

This easy Rhubarb Pie recipe is a classic American dessert that is both tart and sweet, with a flaky crust and a juicy filling. Made with fresh rhubarb stalks, sugar, and a buttery pastry, this pie is a perfect balance of flavors. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.

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

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the rhubarb is evenly coated.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
6. 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.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
8. Slice and serve the easy rhubarb pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
