Ingredients

• 4 cups rhubarb stalks
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1.3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 9-inch pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Clean and chop the rhubarb stalks into 1/2-inch pieces, discarding any leaves as they are toxic.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the rhubarb is evenly coated.

Step 4

Prepare your 9-inch pie dish by placing one of the pie crusts into the dish, ensuring it is pressed snugly into the edges. Trim any excess crust overhang.

Step 5

Pour the rhubarb mixture into the prepared pie shell and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Dot the rhubarb mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter to enhance richness.

Step 7

Place the second pie crust over the top. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal the pie.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to cut small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the filling set properly.

Step 12

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
