A flaky homemade pie crust is filled with a sweet-tart rhubarb filling and topped with a delicious streusel topping. Just like Grandma’s, it’s incredibly easy to make. This delicious pie is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
A Perfect Summer Pie
Rhubarb is a super tart and sour perennial plant that grows in gardens all over. When mixed with sugar, the stalk takes on a unique flavor all its own! Rhubarb goes perfectly in pies, crisp, or muffins.
Fruit pies are a summer staple, and this one is easy to make. If you’ve got rhubarb, you’ll need just a few pantry ingredients to pull this recipe together. This rhubarb crumble pie has a sweet tangy filling topped with a crisp crumble for a perfect dessert. Turn this into a strawberry rhubarb pie by swapping out some of the rhubarb for strawberry (or any other fruit of your choice!).
Ingredients & Variations
Single Pie Crust: A flaky and buttery pastry base is the base of this pie. Use a pre-made pie crust or whip up a flaky homemade pie crust. Rhubarb: The star ingredient that gives the pie its tangy flavor. Use fresh or frozen rhubarb. Thaw and drain excess liquid from frozen rhubarb to avoid a soggy crust. Flour: I use flour as a thickener. It helps give the pie just the right consistency. Sugar: Sweetens the pie and balances the tartness of the rhubarb. Lemon Zest (Optional): For an extra burst of citrusy flavor, lemon zest can be added to the rhubarb filling. It complements the tartness of the rhubarb and adds a refreshing note.
How to Prepare Rhubarb for Pie
Prepping rhubarb for pie is simple. No need to boil or cook the rhubarb before making the filling, though! The sugar will help break it down during the baking process!
