Ingredients

• 5 cups rhubarb stalks
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 store-bought or homemade pastry crusts
• 1 large, beaten egg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and chop the rhubarb stalks into 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until the rhubarb is evenly coated.

Step 4

Roll out one pastry crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, leaving the edge hanging over.

Step 5

Pour the rhubarb mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Dot the filling with small bits of unsalted butter.

Step 7

Roll out the second pastry crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the rhubarb filling, or simply cover with a full crust.

Step 8

Seal and flute the edges of the crust together to prevent leakage.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for 35 more minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least an hour before serving, allowing the filling to set.
