Husbands favorite pie is apple. He says if given a choice between this and an apple pie, he would take the Rhubarb Crumble. He now has a new favorite pei.

I created an account just to be able to leave this review. Omitted 1/4 sugar at another reviewer's suggestion but otherwise made as written. AMAZING pie and I'm not usually a fan of rhubarb. Thank you!

What a delicious pie! A little sweeter than traditional rhubarb, which suits me fine! My husband really enjoyed it too. I omitted the 2 Tbls of butter from the top of the filling and it turned out great. Will definitely make again and again.

This pie was out of this world amazing! I made it for a church fundraiser and actually paid for a piece of my own pie I liked it so much! LOL I made it just like written, using just over 1 lb. of rhubarb. Thanks soooooo much for this recipe - I will be making it over and over from now on! :) - May 8, 2007. Update: I've made this quite a few times now and this last time I left out the 2 Tbsp butter over the filling and it came out just fine and I felt just a little less guilty about eating it. LOL Thanks again!
