A classic old-fashioned rhubarb pie with a creamy filling and crumbly topping.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Arrange pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Spread rhubarb in an even layer in the bottom of the crust.
  3. Whisk egg, white sugar, sour cream, and 1/3 cup of flour together in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour over rhubarb.
  4. Mix 1/2 cup of flour and brown sugar together in a small bowl; stir in melted butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over top of the pie.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to bake until the edges have puffed, and the topping is golden, about 40 minutes. The center may still be slightly jiggly.
  6. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Prevent a runny pie by ensuring the filling sets completely before slicing.
  • No need to peel rhubarb—just wash and chop it.
  • The pie is done when the edges puff and the topping turns golden.
  • Cooling helps the filling firm up for clean slices.
