Ingredients:

1 large

Egg

3 tbsps

Cornstarch

1 tsp

Salt

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)

2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into an 11-inch (28-cm) circle about 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm) thick

3

Line a 9-inch (23-cm) pie plate with the dough, and trim the overhang to 1 inch (2

4

5 cm)

5

Refrigerate the crust until ready to bake

6

Make the frangipane filling: In a food processor, grind the almonds and sugar until they are sandy

7

Add the butter, then the egg, flour, and vanilla and mix until smooth

8

Make the rhubarb filling: In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt

9

Add the rhubarb and orange zest and toss to coat

10

Spread the frangipane over the bottom crust

11

Pile the rhubarb filling on top

12

Brush the pie shell edges with egg wash or milk

13

Roll out the other half of the pie crust into an 11-inch (28-cm) circle

14

Lay the dough over the surface of the pie

15

Trim the edges and tuck the dough inward or outward, pressing and rolling the bottom and top crust edges together

16

Crimp them into a decorative edge, brush with egg wash or milk, and sprinkle raw sugar over the top

17

Cut vents into the top crust to allow steam to escape

18

Put the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, rotating once halfway through

19

Lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more, until the crust is golden and the filling is set (you'll see thick juices bubbling out when it's ready)

20

Remove the pie to cool completely on a wire rack, at least 1 hour

This pie can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, covered in plastic wrap

Let it come to room temperature before serving, or warm it in a low oven
