Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped Can be replaced with tart apples or cranberries.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Use more if filling is too runny.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.
Crust/Topping
  • 1 each pre-made pie crust or crumble topping Can be store-bought or homemade.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the rhubarb is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Assembly
  1. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the pie crust or into a greased baking dish if using crumble topping. Spread it evenly.
  2. If using a crumble topping, sprinkle it generously over the rhubarb filling.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for a delightful experience. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
