Rhubarb Apple Pie

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time55 minutes
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 1 (nine-inch) pie

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1 pound rhubarb ends trimmed and stalks cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 apple cored and sliced (I used a Pink Lady apple)
  • 3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 vanilla bean scraped
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

Additions:

  • 1 large egg + 2 tablespoons milk whisked together in a small bowl for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or demarrara
  • Ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the rhubarb, apple, brown sugar, vanilla bean, corn starch and salt. Allow to stand, about 10 to 15 minutes, while you assemble the pie crust.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust (see above for assembling instructions). Roll the second half of dough and make any sort of design that you like. I chose a very tightly weaved lattice. For this, I cut the dough into 1/2-inch strips using a ravioli cutter. I weaved a lattice, tucked the pie edge under itself all the way around and then crimped the dough all the way around.
  • Brush the tops of the pie with a generous amount of egg wash and sprinkle with about a teaspoon of turbinado sugar. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake for about 20 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden brown. Turn the oven's heat down to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature, about 3 hours. If you cut into it before cooling it down, the filling will spill out, but is that the worst thing in the world? No. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream
