Rockin' Rhubarb Pie

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 10 inch pie plate or 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Put the rhubarb in the pie shell. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and 2 cups of sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1 cup half-and-half, and almond extract. Stir in the sugar and flour until well blended.
3. Pour the sauce over the rhubarb - it may not all fit into the pan, so just discard any remaining mixture. Place the top pie crust over the filling, seal the edges and flute. Brush the top crust with the remaining half-and-half, and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Cut a few small slits in the top crust for ventilation. Place the pie onto a cookie sheet to catch any drips.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until puffed up in the middle and golden brown on the top. A knife should easily pierce the rhubarb. Cool until just warm before serving to allow the custard to set.

"The flavor was great. I used fresh rubarb and followed all of the instructions, but after the 45 min baking time my pie was nowhere near done so I baked it until the crust was golden approx 30 minutes..." See more more. The consistency was too thin. Next time I think I may try either doubling the flour or using tapioca to thicken the custard."

"I made this pie over the weekend and thought it was very good. I used light cream instead of half and half beacuse that is what I had on hand. I would make this again, however, I might try it as a o..." See morene crust pie instead of two, it seemed like too much crust masking this lovely custardy filling."
