This Apple Rhubarb Skillet Pie recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and tart, all nestled in a warm buttery crust. It’s quick to put together and delicious to eat!
When I was a child, my sister and I played outside all day long. We lived in a small community so could go just about anywhere our legs could take us. We often stopped and picked fruit from trees to snack on or we would dare each other to eat raw rhubarb. My mouth puckers up just thinking about it, but who could turn down a dare? I would hae picked it by the barrels if someoe would have made me a Apple Rhubarb Skillet Pie!
I just love cooked rhubarb. Specifically, rhubarb pie. I found some gorgeous rhubarb at the farmers market and couldn’t resist. Rhubarb is another ingredient that John was convinced he didn’t like. He must have taken the dare too. I busted that myth with this pie. I knew he would never go for a rhubarb pie. I love strawberry rhubarb pie and knew that apples and rhubarb could be a winning combination too.
I decided to use the same method as my skillet apple pie. That pie was simple to put together and makes clean up so easy. I especially love the bottom crust that is placed over melted butter and brown sugar before it’s baked. It gives this pie a buttery sweet foundation. The sweetness of the apples and brown sugar in contrast with the tang of the rhubarb is a wonderful combination. This pie was juicy, and when we sliced it, thick juices ran. That wasn’t a problem for us, especially when spooned over that scoop of ice cream…ok, make that two scoops of ice cream!
