Cinnamon Apple Rhubarb Pie Recipe

The fresh rhubarb is finally starting to emerge! Celebrate the season with this delicious, sweet and tart cinnamon apple rhubarb pie recipe.

A slice of cinnamon apple rhubarb pie sprinkled with powdered sugar on a glass dessert plate with apples and pie in the background.

Rhubarb was not in our family’s cooking repertoire growing up. Mom didn’t really like the taste and wasn’t accustomed to baking with it. But it all changed when Sonja introduced us to the best ever strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe. We were hooked!

Sonja has a huge rhubarb plant growing in her backyard. Shortly after, a neighbour of mom’s gave her a root. Now three years later it’s growing nicely and we have plenty of rhubarb to harvest. We actually pick it while it’s in-season (May – June), wash and chop it up, and put some in the freezer to use throughout the year. Rhubarb is one of those funny plants – the more you pick, the more it produces.

Mom found this rhubarb pie recipe in an old cookbook and adapted it using apples to add some sweetness to the dessert. You can use either a store-bought pie crust or make your own. We love this classic pie crust tutorial and this easy pie crust with a twist. Or check out this one for a gluten-free pie crust version.

    My husband loves rhubarb pie so I will have to make this for him. I have never cooked with rhubarb before since I’m not a huge fan of it, but I think it will be fun to give it a try. Might try this with just apples in it for me as well.

    What a clever idea, and great for making those first stems of rhubarb go a little further.
