Classic Rhubarb Pie image

I am a pie-lover and this is hands down my favorite pie. This recipe is my mom's and I've never found one I like better. You can't improve on perfection! I make this as a two-crust pie. My mom's recipe says to bake for 30 min. but I've always needed about 15 minutes more.

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
2 unbaked pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cut rhubarb stalks into bit-size pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, butter and eggs; mix well.
  • Add rhubarb and stir well.
  • Turn into a prepared pie crust and top with the second crust; seal and cut slits to vent steam.
  • Optional: Brush the top crust with another beaten egg (may be thinned with water) and then sprinkle regular sugar generously over the top.
  • Put in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees.
  • Bake 30 minutes. I generally need to add another 15-20 minutes to the baking time; the crust will be a deep golden brown.
