Ingredients

• 4 cups (chopped) Rhubarb stalks
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon (melted) Unsalted butter
• 2 9-inch crusts Pre-made or homemade pie crust
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, then chop them into small, bite-sized pieces until you have 4 cups.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Stir until the rhubarb is evenly coated and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the filling to develop.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly and then stir it into the rhubarb mixture along with the melted butter. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough around the edges.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Roll out the second pie crust and carefully lay it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the crusts together.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits or decorative shapes in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with milk using a pastry brush, then sprinkle coarse sugar over it for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).

Step 11

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 13

Slice and serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
