This Apple Rhubarb Skillet Pie recipe is a perfect blend of sweet and tart, all nestled in a warm buttery crust. It's easy to make and delicious to eat! | HostessAtHeart.comWhen 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!

This Apple Rhubarb Skillet Pie recipe is a perfect blend of sweet and tart, all nestled in a warm buttery crust. It's easy to make and delicious to eat! | HostessAtHeart.comI 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.

This Apple Rhubarb Skillet Pie recipe is a perfect blend of sweet and tart, all nestled in a warm buttery crust. It's easy to make and delicious to eat! | HostessAtHeart.comI 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!

Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!

  • 1 pie crusts package refrigerated or homemade
  • 1 egg white

    I bet that apple and rhubarb is such a great combination! I’ve never tried rhubarb, but I can imagine that it would be delicious in this pie! Especially with all of that sweet brown sugar! Thanks for sharing, Jullie!

    I’m so glad that someone else is using apples this week! We just picked our first apples of the season! I love the combination of flavors with the rhubarb. It sounds and looks superb!

    Thank you so much for bringing this pie to the fiesta this week! I’m sure it’ll be gone in a heartbeat. Happy FF, and have a fabulous weekend!! 🙂

    I have really never eaten rhubarb either, Julie! It seems like combined with apple I would like it. And considering it is inside crust with ice cream on the side, I’m sure I would! 🙂 Your pictures are gorgeous.

    Your fingers churn some magic in the kitchen Julie. I am sure your husband likes Rhubarb now. the ice cream topping must have made it even more enchanting.

    I absolutely love rhubarb pie! I have never made it with apples–that sounds really good. Also, I have never made a pie in a skillet, but we do have a cast iron skillet….I will have to try that sometime!

      I had never tried apples either Jenny and really think it’s a keeper. My husband and I used to just take the cast iron skillets camping. We use it so much now. It does a great job crisping up hashbrowns or stirfrys too!

    Julie this looks awesome! I’ll have to give this a try next spring when rhubarb is in season! Your photos are gorgeous, too! I’ve had to put my pie-baking on hiatus for a little while–it was 112 degrees, which means my oven is staying in the “off” position!

      112? That’s too hot for the oven! It is 72 here today and 91 tomorrow. Crazy. I loved these photos. It was one of those days where the sun cooperated. Just when I think I know what I am doing I turn out a some that look like doodoo. I think you should go for the frosty mug right now. I’ll wait for your works of art!

      Thank you Loretta! We just love cast iron. It is heavy and can be tricky lifting it from the oven when it’s full. We inherited ours from his parents. They always took them camping. They can be cheaper in camping or outdoor stores than kitchen stores. Thanks for stopping dear girl.
