Rhubarb Custard Pie

Ingredients

• 2 cups diced rhubarb
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• pastry crust for a double-crust pie
• milk for brushing pie crust
• 2 tablespoons course sugar - I like to use this sparkly large-grain sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Place oven rack one position lower than the center of the oven. Then preheat oven to 350° F.

2. 2

   Line a 9" pie plate (just a regular pie plate, not a deep dish one) with bottom pie crust and spread rhubarb over the bottom.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, salt, and nutmeg. Add eggs and mix slightly. Pour mixture over the rhubarb and then dot with butter over the top.

4. 4

   Cut second pie crust into strips and make a lattice top. Brush lattice strips with milk and sprinkle with course sugar. Place in oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until crust is nicely browned.
