Ingredients

1/2 box (1 crust) Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
3 eggs, slightly beaten

3 1/2 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

Steps

Heat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie (do not trim or flute crust).
2

In medium bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and the orange peel. Stir in eggs and sour cream. Add rhubarb; toss gently. Spoon into crust-lined pie plate. Fold edges of crust over filling, ruffling decoratively.
