In the Kitchen: Rhubarb Surprise Pie

{affiliate links included}

Good Day! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Bringing more pie today!

This flower shape has turned into one of my favorites for adding a pretty touch to my pies.

I wanted to try combining a crumb type crust with cut-outs.

You can find my recipe for the Rhubarb Surprise over here and print it out if you want to try it!

I’m using gluten-free pie crust for this pie and in the recipe I substituted the flour for tapioca flour. I’m going to mess around with my flour substitution some more, because it was a little thicker consistency than I quite wanted. However, the pie did disappear!

Here is my pie all prettied up before I baked it!

And here we are after we were baked! The crumb crust on this really isn’t your normal crumb crust. It’s made to combine and cook together. I didn’t consider that and thus my pretty pieces on top somewhat separated and disintegrated.

Ha! As I said, the pie did disappear!

Next time, I will try baking the shapes separately and then place them on top of the pie when it is finished.

Always something to learn!

I plan to bring you my Rosey Strawberry Rhubarb Pie soon, along with the pie crust recipe I tweaked to make it gluten-free. I just don’t have the time this week to get the post together along with the recipe.

See the Rosey Strawberry Rhubarb Pie hanging out in the background?!
