Question:

Can you possibly make a Rhubarb Pie with no top crust?

I need to know because I want to bake one but have only one shell and I have no experience making them personally.


Answers:
Absolutely - there is no problem with doing it with just the bottom crust - my mom used to make them like this all the time! (we liked the rhubarb way more than the crust! lol!)

If you want a one-crust recipe, here ya go...

yes.put the crust on the bottom and when its cooked turn it over on a new plate so u have the crust on the top and serve with greek youghurt.............

Crispy Rhubarb Pie
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cups diced rhubarb
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie or premade crust
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup crushed cornflakes cereal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Combine rhubarb, 1 tablespoon flour and white sugar. Mix well and place in pie shell.
Melt the butter or margarine and mix with 1/2 cup brown sugar, crushed corn flakes and 1/2 cup flour. Mix in a bowl and pat down on top of pie. Bake in oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 40 minutes. Turn off oven and leave the pie in the oven for another hour. Serve warm.

Sure, no problem. Just make a rhubarb crumb pie. Take a three or four tablespoons butter, margarine, or shortening, a half-cup of packed brown sugar, a half-cup of white flour and a half-cup of UNCOOKED quick oats or old-fashioned oats. Add a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg or whichever spice you added to your pie to the flour, as well as a pinch of salt, if desired. Then just mix all the ingredients together until it's crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the pie, and bake as usual.

I use this crumb all the time. It's good for all sorts of fruit pies, and I don't measure when I make it anymore. I just freeze any leftovers to top the next pie.
