Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 tsp (6g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 8 tbsp (120ml) ice water
- 5 cups (625g) fresh rhubarb, sliced into 0.5 inch pieces
- 1.25 cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp (12g) coarse sugar
Instructions:
- Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add chilled butter and pulse only until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Gradually drizzle in ice water, pulsing until the dough just begins to clump. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Toss the sliced rhubarb with lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the sugar and cornstarch, ensuring every piece is coated. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
- Roll out the first disc of dough and press it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Pour in the rhubarb filling, piling it slightly in the center.
- Roll out the second disc and place it over the top. Trim the edges, pinch them to seal, and cut 4-5 slits in the center to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 60 minutes or until the crust is mahogany-colored and golden brown.
