How to Make Apple Rhubarb Pie

Start by preheating the oven and placing your pie crust in a greased pie pan. Then you want to work on prepping the rhubarb filling. Combine ingredients and then let sit for 15 minutes. Make sure to stir often, and do not skip this step. It will help break down the rhubarb and give it a sweeter and less tangy taste in the pie.
