Rhubarb Pie ( for deep dish pie)

Rhubarb Pie ( for deep dish pie)

2 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar (this is if you have strawberry rhubarb, if you have the green rhubarb, you will have to use 2 cups of sugar)
15 crushed soda crackers

Mix rhubarb, eggs and sugar.  Let sit for about 1/2 hour to help the sugar to dissolve.  Add the crackers and pour into unbaked pie crust.  Cut hard butter into thin slices and put on top of pie before baking.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.  Your soda crackers will come to the top as it is baked to form a crust.



An alternative topping would be:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 pinch salt

Mix it all together until it is crumbly.  Sprinkle it on top of the pie and bake. 
I don’t think you need to put the butter on top of that either.
