Rhubarb pie is a particularly popular dessert in areas where the rhubarb plant is commonly grown, including regions of Sweden, the British Isles, New England, and the upper Midwest in the United States. Besides rhubarb, it almost always contains a large amount of sugar to counteract the plant's intense acidity. Rhubarb pie is often eaten with ice cream or custard.

First, we mix the vanilla, egg yolk, and cold water in a bowl, beating it with a fork. Set aside. On the other hand, we mix the flour with the salt and sugar in a bowl or electric mixer container. We cut the cold butter into cubes, add it to the bowl, and mix with our hands until the consistency is sandy. Next, we add the beaten egg yolk and mix with a mixer until we achieve a soft dough consistency that sticks to our fingers when worked. If necessary, we add a little more flour or water to achieve that finish. Next, we grease a removable mold of about 22 cm in diameter with butter and line the bottom with this dough using our hands or a spoon. The base should be about 1 cm high. We also lift some of the dough up the sides of the mold, reaching about 3 cm in height. When we have the dough ready, we preheat the oven to 175 ºC. While the oven heats up, we wash and cut the rhubarb into pieces of about 2 cm. On one hand, in a large bowl, we mix water, flour, and sugar for the filling and add it to the mold over the pie dough. We also include the rhubarb in the mold. Next, we prepare the crumble. To do this, in a large bowl, we combine butter, flour, sugar, oat flakes, and cinnamon. We mix with our fingertips until all the ingredients are well combined. It should have a coarse sand texture. Finally, we carefully cover the pie with the crumble and bake it for about 35-45 minutes at 175 ºC. We take it out of the oven and let it rest for a while before serving.
