Classic Rhubarb Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. 2
   Cut rhubarb stalks into bit-size pieces.
3. 3
   In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, butter and eggs; mix well.
4. 4
   Add rhubarb and stir well.
5. 5
   Turn into a prepared pie crust and top with the second crust; seal and cut slits to vent steam.
6. 6
   Optional: Brush the top crust with another beaten egg (may be thinned with water) and then sprinkle regular sugar generously over the top.
7. 7
   Put in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees.
8. 8
   Bake 30 minutes. I generally need to add another 15-20 minutes to the baking time; the crust will be a deep golden brown.
