Ingredients
- 1 Single Pie Crust
- 2 ½ cups fresh rhubarb sliced ¼ inch
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup half and half or light cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Prepare the pie crust according to your favorite recipe, or use a premade pie crust. Line a 9-inch glass pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly. Crimp the edges.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until they turn a light yellow color. Add cream, sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.
- Fill the prepared pie shell with rhubarb. Pour the custard mixture overtop.
- Place the pie on the bottom rack of the preheated oven. Bake it at 450°F for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking the pie for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the pie has set.

Notes
- For a 9" deep dish pie adjust the filling as follows:
- 3 1/2 cups rhubarb
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup light cream
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- If you notice the edges of the pie starting to brown too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- It's important to let the pie cool before slicing. This allows the custard to set and makes for cleaner slices.
- Feel free to serve this pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
