Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 batch homemade pie crust (makes two crusts)
6 cups chopped rhubarb ((about seven 15-inch stalks))
1 cup + 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar (, divided)
¼ cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon orange zest (, (or sub lemon zest))
1 ½ tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add bottom crust to pie plate.
  • In a large bowl combine the sugar, tapioca flour, and zest. Add rhubarb and toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon coarse sugar over the bottom of the pie crust, to help keep it from getting soggy. Pour rhubarb mixture into pie pan.
  • Cut butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the rhubarb filling.
  • Roll out second pie crust and place on top. Trim, seal and flute edges and cut a few slits (a small X) on top to allow air to escape.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour (tent the top of the pie loosely with aluminum foil part way through cooking to keep the crust from browning too much).
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 4 hours before cutting. After it cools, refrigerate for up to 4 days.

MOM'S RHUBARB PIE

I grew up on this. I could eat a whole pie at a sitting. It is my absolute favorite food, bar none. When I taste it, I'm back in my mother's kitchen again. Don't add strawberries to this, and don't add extra sugar. This is the real deal.

Provided by kittycatmom

Categories     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
5 cups rhubarb
6 egg yolks (save whites)
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
6 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Crust:.
  • In a bowl mix butter, flour and sugar. Press into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool while mixing other ingredients.
  • Filling:.
  • Cut Rhubarb into 1 inch pieces. Place in a bowl. Mix in egg yolks, 1 cup of sugar, flour and salt. Pour into prepared pie crust.
  • Mix evaporated milk and 1 cup sugar. Pour over rhubarb mixture.
  • Bake pie for 45 minutes. If not completely set bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and "frost with meringue." Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until meringue peaks are a light golden brown.
  • Meringue:.
  • While pie is baking, beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until you have soft stiff peaks.
  • Cover pie with meringue and follow baking instructions above.
  • Pie can be served warm or cold. All leftovers must be refrigerated.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Select stalks that are firm and deep red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off the leaves and ends. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a combination of sugars: This will help to create a balanced sweetness in the pie. White sugar provides a clean, sweet flavor, while brown sugar adds a richer, molasses-like flavor.
  • Add a little bit of cornstarch: This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The rhubarb should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to it. Overcooking will make the rhubarb mushy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to become crisp.

Conclusion:

This classic rhubarb pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling, flaky crust, and beautiful lattice top, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
