Rhubarb Pie

Another dessert post today…Mmm.

I was grocery shopping yesterday when the rhubarb in the produce section caught my attention. I was struck with rhubarb pie cravings and decided it can’t be all that tricky to make. I assumed two bunches would be sufficient (it was exact, phew). And lucky for me I found a ridiculously easy recipe at my fav recipe website: allrecipes.com. You can find the link here. I used Tenderflake’s pre-made pie shells as I didn’t have time to make the crust from scratch. This recipe is as basic as it gets: chop rhubarb, mix sugar and flour, fill pie shell, top with other shell, bake.

I was happy with the way the pie turned out. Next time around I think I’ll do half rhubarb/half strawberries and reduce the sugar as necessary. Also – I need some more pie baking practice, this one turned out a little sloppy looking. Although, it does give it more of an authentic “homemade” look.

Pre-made pie crust: makes life so much easier

Fresh rhubarb rinsed and ready for chopping

Ingredients: Tenderflake pie shells, flour, sugar, chopped rhubarb. Easy peasy!

Coat the bottom with flour/sugar mixture

The recipe says to fill shell with rhubarb and then top with remaining sugar and flour, but I thought it was best to mix the rhubarb and sugar/flour and then fill the shell
