Dutch Rhubarb Pie
A Dutch Rhubarb Pie features a tart rhubarb filling topped with a crumbly, sweet brown sugar topping. It’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it an irresistible dessert for any occasion.
For the filling:
- 4 cups rhubarb chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 9- inch unbaked pie crust
For the topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup cold butter
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat for even baking.
Mix the filling: In a large bowl, toss chopped rhubarb with sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until coated, then spread evenly into an unbaked pie crust.
Make the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour and brown sugar. Cut in cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly.
Top the pie: Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the rhubarb filling. No need to smooth it—leave it rustic.
Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges. Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely. This helps the filling set for cleaner slices.
