Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie

Delicious Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie Recipe: A Tangy Twist on a Classic Dessert!

This recipe came to me from my dear friend Margie. We became fast friends the day our family moved onto the block. You couldn’t ask for a better neighbor, and when I found out she was a keen baker, I knew she was one for keeps! I think this may be my all-time favorite pie. The combination of sour cream, rhubarb, and crumb topping is so good, it should be illegal.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted (for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Arrange the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and spread the rhubarb evenly across the bottom.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, white sugar, sour cream, and ⅓ cup of flour until smooth. Pour this mixture over the rhubarb in the pie crust.
  4. In another bowl, mix ½ cup flour and brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle this topping over the pie.
  5. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the edges puff up and the topping turns golden, about 40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool before slicing.

Tips for Success

  • Ensure your rhubarb is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
  • Use a pie shield or foil to cover the edges if they brown too quickly.

Additional Tips and Variations

For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the crumb topping for extra warmth. If you’re not a fan of rhubarb, you can substitute with strawberries for a sweeter pie.
