Ingredients

• 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean and chop 3 cups of fresh rhubarb into small, 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4

Add 3 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold the chopped rhubarb into the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 6

Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan, trimming and crimping the edges as needed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the pie crust is golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the custard to set fully.

Step 10

Serve slices as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of sweetness.
