Gluten Free Rhubarb Pie is a blend of sweet and slightly tart flavouring. I look forward to this tasty dessert every year when this spring vegetable is harvested from the garden.
Every spring I eagerly await the arrival of fresh rhubarb from the garden. There are so many things that it can be used for in baking but my favourite is Gluten Free Rhubarb Pie.
I prefer my rhubarb pie on its own to enjoy the distinctive flavour but many like it served with ice cream or whipped cream.
Every mouthful provides a delicious combination of sweetness with a little hint of tartness.

To begin making Gluten Free Rhubarb Pie I cut some fresh rhubarb into one inch pieces.
You could make your own pastry for the pie but this time I used the pastry shells seen below.
Gluten free pastry does not flip out of the pan as easily to make the top crust like some of the non gluten shells do. Therefore I laid plastic wrap out on a pastry sheet and sprinkled it with gluten free flour.
Then, for the top crust, I removed the pastry from one of the pie tins.
Then I formed the pastry into a disc, placed it on the floured surface and sprinkled more gluten free flour on top of it.
I covered it with another piece of plastic wrap and used a rolling pin to roll it out large enough to cover the pie.
Next I prepared the rhubarb filling by combining an egg, some granulated sugar, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend and some cornstarch in a large mixing bowl.
Once the ingredients were combined I dumped in the rhubarb I had cut up earlier.
I stirred it with a large wooden spoon to get the rhubarb coated with the egg mixture.
Then I dumped it into the bottom pie shell and spread it out evenly.
Next I carefully placed the top pie shell I had rolled out on top of it and crimped the edges to seal.
Before placing it in the oven I used a knife to make some vent holes in the pastry.
Then I placed it in a preheated 425F oven for 10 minutes before covering the edges with tinfoil and reducing the temperature to 350F for 35 minutes more baking time.
After 45 minutes of baking the pie was golden brown and the rhubarb was bubbling. I removed it from the oven and allowed it to cool.
Gluten Free Rhubarb Pie is delicious when it is served slightly warm.
Enjoy every mouthful of this delicious and flavourful pie loaded with seasonal fresh rhubarb!

This pie was amazing. I already had the gluten free pie crusts on hand; I hadn't thought of what you did to create a top crust before. I used the plastic sheets that come with the pie crusts and put the dough between the two and it worked perfectly. I am going to do this now for every pie that I've been missing, that I haven't made for years because of being gluten free. Also, the filling was great, just the right amount of sweetness. I substituted coconut sugar for the granulated sugar and it worked great. Thanks again!

Hi Liz, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review! I am so glad you enjoyed the pie. Yes, unfortunatley we can't just flip a crust out like the Tenderflake ones. Takes a bit longer to scrape the pastry out and reroll but it is well worth the effort. Enjoy your other pies too! Take care, Kathleen
