Rhubarb Pie with Oat Crumble Topping

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rhubarb Pie with Oat Crumble Topping.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a warm 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and gets that lovely golden crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced fresh rhubarb with 1 1/2 cups of sugar and the quick-cooking tapioca. The tapioca will help thicken the filling as it bakes, giving you that perfect pie consistency. Drizzle the melted butter over the rhubarb mixture and toss everything together until the rhubarb is well coated. Now, pour this delicious mixture into your prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Set this aside for a moment while we prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, 1/4 cup of sugar, all-purpose flour, melted butter, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Stir until everything is well combined and crumbly. This topping will add a delightful crunch to your pie. Sprinkle the oat mixture generously over the rhubarb filling, covering it completely. Now it’s time to bake! Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue baking for about 30 more minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the rhubarb is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Once baked, allow your pie to cool to room temperature before serving. This will help the filling set up nicely, making it easier to slice. Enjoy your homemade rhubarb pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
