In reply to Becky. Hi, Becky! Thank you for your comment and tips! You're so fortunate to have your own rhubarb. I planted some this fall in hopes I can finally get it to grow at my home. 3rd attempt! This pie isn't an easy one to cut into slices as you do pie baked on a pie plate. I usually just scoop it out with a big spoon. We like the brown sugar flavor in this pie but I'll have to give it a try without the caramel as you suggested.

I make a lot rhubarb desserts using my own rhubarb. Thought I would give this one a try. I liked the rhubarb/apple combo. I used a bit less sugar in my filling as I like the tart taste of rhubarb. It sounded as if the filling was a bit loose, so I didn’t use any flour and added 4 tablespoonfuls of tapioca instead. Filling was perfect and held together well. The caramel really didn’t belong however. It drowned out the taste of the rhubarb. It made it pretty difficult to get out of the pan after it cooled as well. I will try this again, without the caramel. Made it in my enamel cast iron pie plate.

Two of my favorites! Rhubarb and apples together! This looks too good to be true?

In reply to Jeff the Chef. Thanks Jeff! I love this combo. The apple mellows the rhubarb.

I don’t know if I’ve ever had rhubarb and apple together, but it sounds like a nice combination. Your crust looks fantastic!
