No reviews

This old-fashioned Rhubarb Pie is perfectly sweet and tart, made with fresh rhubarb and a delicious flaky pie crust.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe homemade pie crust (makes 2 crusts)
  • 6 cups chopped rhubarb (about seven 15-inch stalks)
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (or lemon zest)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. For the filling, combine sugar, tapioca flour, and zest in a large bowl. Add rhubarb and toss to coat.
  3. Place one rolled-out crust in pie plate. Sprinkle 1 tbsp coarse sugar on bottom to prevent sogginess. Add rhubarb filling and dot with butter.
  4. Roll out second crust and place on top. Seal edges and cut slits or an ‘X’ for steam.
  5. Bake about 1 hour, tenting top with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  6. Cool at least 4 hours before cutting. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Make filling ahead and store in fridge until ready to bake.
  • Pie crusts can be made ahead and stored in fridge or freezer.
  • Freeze baked pie up to 3 months; thaw completely before serving.
  • Strawberry Rhubarb Pie: replace 2 ½ cups rhubarb with chopped strawberries.
