Simple Rhubarb Pie Recipe

Hi there fellow Rhubarb lovers. Welcome to my little blog.  Today I want to share a Simple Rhubarb Pie Recipe with you.

Ten years ago, I was gifted a teeny tiny rhubarb sprout. I planted it in my backyard and it flourished. 

Over the years, I found teeny tiny rhubarb plants. My plant had babies which I gifted to friends so they could grow their own.

This is our second time to trim back the rhubarb plant this year. We didn't want the stalks to go to waste this time so we decided to make a pie.

I know, all these years and we have never made anything with it. Weird right.

Simple Rhubarb Pie

Before we could even start the pie we had to harvest a few stalks of rhubarb. I enlisted the help of two very eager little five year olds.

Of course that meant playtime. The huge leaves were used as umbrellas and fans. Smaller leaves were hats and plates for mud pies. I was too slow at getting my camera out. Darn it.

I handed the collander of rhubarb over to my eighteen year old daughter. She took it from there.

Ingredients for Rhubarb Pie

• 4 cups of rhubarb chopped up
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• Pie crust for top and bottom

Directions for Rhubarb Pie

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Chop up rhubarb in 1/2" pieces.
• Prepare enough pie crust to cover the bottom of the tin and the top of the pie.
• Combine flour and sugar. Set aside.
• Pour chopped rhubarb into prepared pie shell.
• Sprinkle combined sugar and flour over rhubarb.
• Dampen edges
• Top with second crust.
• Crimp and trim edge of crust to seal
• Pierce the top crust with a fork for vents
• Bake pie at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for fifteen minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 40 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the rhubarb is tender.

I prefer to eat rhubarb pie when it's cold - especially in the summer - so I waited to enjoy this tart summer treat.

I actually waited 'til the next day which turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. It was warm but a refreshing breeze sauntered through my back yard.

I had a full cup of milk to calm my taste buds after tart bite. It was so good. Too bad everyone else in my family likes rhubarb pie too. In the blink of an eye it disappeared. I only got this one piece.  :(
