Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add bottom crust to pie plate.
- In a large bowl combine the sugar, tapioca flour, and zest. Add rhubarb and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon coarse sugar over the bottom of the pie crust, to help keep it from getting soggy. Pour rhubarb mixture into pie pan.
- Cut butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the rhubarb filling.
- Roll out second pie crust and place on top. Trim, seal and flute edges and cut a few slits (a small X) on top to allow air to escape.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour (tent the top of the pie loosely with aluminum foil part way through cooking to keep the crust from browning too much).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 4 hours before cutting. After it cools, refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Steps:
- 1 FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 425ºF. 2 Whisk flour and salt in large mixing bowl to blend. Add butter and rub in with fingertips or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle ice water over mixture a little at a time; mix in with fork or fingertips until dough just comes together. Gather into ball; divide into 2 equal pieces. Wrap each piece in plastic and refrigerate 15 minutes. 3 Roll out one dough piece on lightly floured work surface to 12-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish. Trim any overhang with a knife. 4 FOR THE FILLING: Whisk flour, sugar and salt in large bowl to blend. 5 Spoon rhubarb mixture into prepared crust. Dot mixture with butter. 6 Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Using scalloped pastry cutter, cut into 24 half-inch wide strips. Arrange dough strips across top of filling forming lattice and weaving strips if desired. Trim dough strips even with overhang on bottom crust. Tuck ends of dough strips and overhang under; press to seal. Crimp edges decoratively. 7 Bake at 425ºF for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350ºF. Bake until crust is golden, rhubarb is tender and juice bubbles, about 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack 15 minutes before serving.

CLASSIC RHUBARB PIE
I am a pie-lover and this is hands down my favorite pie. This recipe is my mom's and I've never found one I like better. You can't improve on perfection! I make this as a two-crust pie. My mom's recipe says to bake for 30 min. but I've always needed about 15 minutes more.

Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Use firm, tender rhubarb stalks that are deep red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
- Sweeten the rhubarb to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the rhubarb filling will depend on your personal preference. Start with 1 cup of sugar and add more to taste.
- Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought pie crust if you're short on time.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will usually take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This classic rhubarb pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try!
