For the Pie Filling

For the Pie Crust

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Old Fashioned Rhubarb Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork, cover with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for about 30 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. Once the crust is cooled, increase the oven temperature to 425°F. In a bowl, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and flour. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until pale, then pour over the rhubarb mixture, stirring gently.
  3. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spread evenly. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and poke holes in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  4. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 25-30 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.
