Traditional Nordic recipe for rhubarb pie. This recipe is very delicious and super easy-to-follow. Rhubarb pie done the Nordic way!
We believe that most people think that rhubarb is a fruit because it is often used in desserts and drinks - that is not entirely correct. Rhubarb is actually a vegetable but that does not make this pie less good. This rhubarb pie with crumb topping is super delicious and has a fresh taste. Rhubarb has a great sour taste which makes it a great ingredient in sweet desserts. The pie only contains few and simple ingredients and are relatively easy to make.

Ingredients
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 200 g butter, soft
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar/essence
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 400 g fresh rhubarb
- 30 g chopped almonds
Instructions
- Rinse and clean the rhubarb. Cut off the top and cut them into smaller pieces.
- Mix the soft butter with the sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder and flour. Mix/knead until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Distribute 2/3 of the crumble dough in a pie dish. We used a rectangular dish but a circular (20-23 cm / 8-9 inch) would work just fine. Use your fingers; press the dough into the shape of the pie dish.
- Distribute the cut rhubarb on top of the dough.
- Distribute the last crumble dough on top of the rhubarb. Sprinkle with chopped almonds.
- Bake the pie at 175 C (350 F) for about 30-35 minutes.
Notes
Serve the rhubarb pie with some sour cream.

I live in Racine, Wisconsin, with a lot of Danish Americans and transplanted Danes. Just picked up some fresh rhubarb at the harbor market in Kenosha, and this is a delicious recipe for it!
