Start by preheating the oven and placing your pie crust in a greased pie pan. Then you want to work on prepping the rhubarb filling. Combine ingredients and then let sit for 15 minutes. Make sure to stir often, and do not skip this step. It will help break down the rhubarb and give it a sweeter and less tangy taste in the pie.

Once that has finished, add in the rest of the ingredients and pour into the pie pan. Top with the other pie crust and seal up the edges. Bake accordingly and then let cool and serve!
