Ingredients

• 1 prepared 9-inch crust (homemade or store-bought) Pie crust
• 3 cups Fresh rhubarb, chopped
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place an oven rack in the center position.

Step 2

Prepare your 9-inch pie dish by fitting it with the pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

Place the chopped rhubarb into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom of the crust.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then add the whole milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, and salt mixture) into the wet ingredients (eggs and milk mixture), whisking continuously to form a smooth custard batter.

Step 7

Carefully pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb in the pie crust, ensuring the rhubarb is mostly submerged.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the top of the custard for added flavor.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and transfer it to the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The custard will continue to firm up as it cools.

Step 12

Serve slices plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Enjoy your Simply Fantastic Rhubarb Custard Pie!
