Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Streusel Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- â…“ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is fully heated when the pie is ready to bake.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the rhubarb filling into the unbaked pie crust and smooth out the top to create an even layer.
- Make Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, mix ½ cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the rhubarb filling, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the streusel topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
Notes
- If the edges of the pie crust brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil halfway through to prevent burning.
- For an extra special touch, serve slices with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
