Amish Rhubarb Pie

Miss Annie's Note:

This rhubarb pie is simple, but good. I love the crumb topping on it. For a slight change, try Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. The crumb topping may be replaced with a full or lattice crust.

This pie is fantastic! The easy to follow directions make this a breeze to prepare. I LOVED the crumb topping to which I couldn't resist adding a few generous dashes of cinnamon to. With a scoop of ice cream this makes THE perfect springtime dessert. Most definitely a keeper!

I always have lots of rhubarb from the garden but never any strawberries on hand so it was so nice to find a pie without strawberries. The flavor and consistancy were so good and I'm not even a big rhubarb fan. I think the crumb topping is what made this a five star. THANKS!

The filling is basically the same one I use with the addition of strawberries. I truly enjoyed the crumb topping for a change. This was the first rhubarb this season so it tasted especially good.
