Ingredients
-
For the Filling:
-
4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the Crumble Topping:
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
-
Pinch of salt
-
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, flour, cinnamon (if using), vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
-
Fill the crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.
-
Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the dry ingredients until it forms coarse crumbs.
-
Top the pie: Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the rhubarb filling.
-
Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Cool and serve: Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm or chilled, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
-
If using frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain well before using.
-
For added flavor, mix in a handful of sliced strawberries with the rhubarb.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven for best results.
