That is what happens when you’re pregnant and not feeling so ambitious. I love pie. It made me happy to be back in the kitchen making one again. Especially since I LOVE my new kitchen! The crust I use is my husband’s grandma’s recipe.

She is an amazing baker and there are quite a few of her recipes on this site. I made one little adjustment to it that really solidified it’s flakey perfection and that is I add a little baking powder. Seriously I could just eat the crust and be perfectly happy in life. FOR THE CRUST3 cups all purpose flour. I use a fine sea salt)1 teaspoon baking powder. FOR THE FILLING3 cups diced, fresh rhubarb.

I used Galas this time and I really liked it, a sweeter apple works best for this pie rather then the traditional granny smith)½ cup granulated sugar. FOR THE CRUSTIn a medium sized mixing bowl mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the butter and cut with a pastry blender until the texture of course sand.

Wrap the edges of the pie in foil to protect them from burning. I usually take two pieces of foil and set them on the counter, then I put the pie in the center and fold the foil up and crimp it so it sort of hugs the edges of the pie.

Bake for about 3. Remove the foil from the pie and bake another 2. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving. FOR THE FILLINGIn a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Let the fruit sit while you prepare the pie crust to let the juices seep out. The sugar and flour stick to the fruit better this way and you don’t end up with a soupy mess when you cut the pie.
