Sweet, tart, and vibrant, apple rhubarb pie combines the summer staples into a wholesome family dessert.
This recipe is ideal to use all those on-sale apples and rhubarbs. The vibrant fruits and vegetables create an earthy reddish color, packed inside traditional crusts.
When to Serve It?
Apple rhubarb recipes are popular during summer. If you plant rhubarbs at home, you can harvest the best ones during summer (between May and July).
Since rhubarbs have sweet and slightly tart flavors, you can combine them with red apples.
Like a traditional apple pie recipe, the apple rhubarb one is a great substitute for events such as the 4th July and home dinner party.
Children and adults favor this pie. You can top the pie with ice cream or fresh fruits.
Ingredients
This rhubarb pie recipe is even easier to make with a store-bought apple pie filling. You can also use a pre-made pie crust.
The crust should be refrigerated before you make the pie. Use apple pie filling in a can and mix it with fresh ingredients for an extra kick.
The pie filling also consists of fresh apples and rhubarbs. You can also add the apple pie spice and cinnamon.
Use instant tapioca to thicken the filling. Garnish the pie with whipped cream, mint leaves, or cinnamon powder if you want.
Directions
Start by pre-heated the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the filling by stirring rhubarb, apple, cinnamon powder, and sugar.
Slowly add the apple pie filling and tapioca and mix evenly, before letting the ingredients sit for 15 minutes.
Spread the cooking spray onto the baking challenge and place the crust there. Slowly fill it up with the rhubarb and apple mixture.
Bake for around 55 minutes or until the crust looks golden brown. This recipe can make around eight servings of pie.
Summer is the best time to use all the fresh ingredients in the desserts. This apple rhubarb pie will make everyone smile. Have a nice time baking!

The first time I made this pie, I followed the directions and ingredients exactly, and got lots of compliments. The second time and every other time thereafter, I made the following changes to rave reviews…now my whole family requests my apple pies in the fall. I used 1/3 c. brown sugar and 2/3 c. white sugar, and added small pats of butter throughout the pie as I layered it, and my whole family raved over this pie! This was my first time baking a pie, and it was incredibly easy…this is an excellent recipe!! Thank you, Carol!
