Grandma Rampke's Easy Rhubarb Custard Pie

Recipe #27021 | 40 min | add private note

This was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother. It's been replicated all over the internet in the past few years. I think the first incidence can be documented to 1995.

SERVES 4 -6 , 1 pie (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pie crust
  • 1 1/2 cups cut rhubarb, in 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (extra large eggs are even better)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (yes, another 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup whole milk (not skim milk)
  • cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1
    Place 1/2 pie crust into pie plate.
  2. 2
    Put the rhubarb in the crust and cover with 1/2 cup sugar.
  3. 3
    Add the other 1/2 cup sugar to the milk and beaten eggs, and pour mixture over rhubarb.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
  5. 5
    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes; let cool before serving to allow custard to set.
  6. 6
    Note from Julie: this was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother.
  7. 7
    Note, again: I've been on the 'net for a very, very long time, and this is one of the earliest recipes that I submitted to any search engines. What I can say: it's a tried and true recipe, one we've been using for well over 50 years. It's what my mom will be serving at Christmas this year... what else can I say?

I was looking for this recipe in my zaar cookbook yesterday and I thought I had written a review. I don't know why I didn't because I have made several times. This Rhubarb Custard Pie is WONDERFUL! And so easy to put together when using a premade pie crust I also use half and half and 2 cups of the rhubarb. It takes me about 8 minutes. Last time I used frozen rhubarb and I wasn't sure about the extra liquid it had on it so I sprinkled with a little instant tapioca granules and it worked great. I love the flavor and the texture thanks so much for sharing your Grandma's recipe.

    Made this exactly as stated (using fresh rhubarb). It never did fully set up even though I baked it much longer than stated. The flavor wasn't as I remembered from other rhubarb custard pies ... I'll keep looking and probably won't make this one again.
