Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the rhubarb is evenly coated and set aside.
Unroll the pie crusts and use a round cutter (approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter) to cut out 12 circles. Re-roll the scraps to get enough circles if needed.
Place 6 of the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the rhubarb mixture into the center of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Brush the edges of the circles with a small amount of beaten egg. Place the remaining pie crust circles on top of the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Cut small slits or prick the top of each pie with a knife or fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the tops of the pies with the remaining beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly through the slits.
Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
