Description

What if you could turn a sour vegetable into a sweet, cozy pie that tastes like summer in every bite? That’s the magic of Dutch Rhubarb Pie! It’s sweet, tangy, soft, and wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. If you’ve never baked with rhubarb before, this is the perfect place to start. It’s easy to make, super delicious, and great with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own Dutch Rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb: You’ll need 4 cups, chopped. Rhubarb is sour, but when cooked with sugar, it becomes soft and sweet
Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and balances out the tang of the rhubarb
All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the filling so it’s not too runny
Ground Cinnamon: Adds warm flavor that pairs perfectly with rhubarb
Butter: Dotted on top to give extra richness as it melts into the filling
Pie Crust: You can use a store-bought one or make your own from scratch

Substitutions and Variations

Fruit Add-ins: Mix in sliced strawberries or apples with the rhubarb for extra flavor
Spices: Try a pinch of nutmeg or ginger instead of or along with cinnamon
Crumb Topping: Instead of a top crust, use a brown sugar and oat crumb for a crunchy Dutch-style topping
Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free pie crust and gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version

Instructions

Let’s walk through making this delicious Dutch Rhubarb Pie

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready while you prep the pie.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup flour, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Stir it well until all the rhubarb is coated.

Step 3: Prepare the Pie Crust

Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Press it gently into the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 4: Fill the Pie

Pour the rhubarb mixture into the crust. Spread it out evenly. Dot the top of the filling with 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.

Step 5: Add the Top Crust

You can use a second crust to cover the top or make a lattice crust by cutting strips and weaving them. If using a full top crust, cut a few slits in the top to let steam escape.

Step 6: Bake

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier
