How to Make Perfect Rhubarb Pie

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine the rhubarb, sugar, tapioca starch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the rhubarb to release its juices and the tapioca to absorb some of the liquid.
Pour the rhubarb mixture into your prepared pie crust (see note below).
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a messy pie!
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
