Ingredients
Rhubarb Filling:
- 5 to 6 cups of chopped fresh Rhubarb
- 1/4 cup of Cornstarch
- 2/3 to 1 cup of White Monk Fruit Sweetener (the kind I used)
Light Olive Oil Pie Crust:Â
- 2 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
- 2/3 cup of Light Olive Oil
- 5 to 6 tablespoons of Ice Water
- Pinch of Salt
- Extra flour for rolling
- Wax Paper for rolling
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
-
In a large mixing bowl, add 2 and ½ cups of flour (make sure to sift or whisk the flour before measuring).
-
Create a well in the center of the flour and add a pinch of salt, light olive oil, and 5 tablespoons of water. Start mixing and gradually add an additional tablespoon of water f if needed until a ball of dough forms.
-
Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
-
Take out one portion of the dough and place it between two sheets of waxed paper.
-
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle, making it about 1 inch larger than the rim of your pie pan.
-
Gently remove the top layer of wax paper and carefully transfer the pie dough into your pie pan.
-
Repeat the rolling process with the remaining portion of dough to create the top layer for your pie.
Â
Prepare the Filling:Â
-
Remove the leaf of the rhubarb stem and wash to remove any dirt. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.
-
In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and the monk fruit sweetener.
-
Toss the cornstarch and monk fruit mixture over the rhubarb and coat well.
-
The filling is ready for the pie crust.
Preparing the Pie:
-
 Layer the bottom of the pie pan with the first crust, with at least ½ inch hanging over the edge.Â
-
Add the rhubarb filling to the bottom crust.
-
Layer the second crust on top, again with a least ½ inch hanging over.Â
-
Take both hanging-over pie crusts tuck them under and press them to the top of the rim of the pan.Â
-
With the thumb of one hand and finger of the second hang pinch the edge to make a decorative edge.Â
-
Refrigerate the uncooked pie for 30 minutes before baking.Â
-
Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350° F, and cook for an additional 30 minutes.Â
Notes
- Make sure to use a Light Olive Oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the best to use but will be too heavy of a taste for this pie crust.Â
