Rhubarb Impossible Pie

📌 Preparation Time: 10 minutes

⏲️ Baking Time: 45–55 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 10 slices

1. Prepare the Oven & Dish

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Grease a 10-inch pie plate with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Layer the Rhubarb

• Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly into the bottom of the greased pie dish. This will become the fruit layer beneath the custard.

3. Blend the Custard Mixture

• In a blender, combine:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
• Blend on medium speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and frothy.

4. Pour & Set

• Pour the custard mixture gently over the rhubarb in the pie plate.

5. Make the Streusel Topping

• In a bowl, use a pastry cutter or fork to mix:
  • 2 tbsp cold butter
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Blend until crumbly. Stir in the walnuts for a rich, nutty crunch.
• Sprinkle the streusel generously over the custard.

6. Bake with Love

• Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–55 minutes.
• The pie is ready when the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
• If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the final 10 minutes.

Formation of the Impossible Pie (Science in Action!) 🧪

As the pie bakes, the Bisquick mixture separates, creating layers:

• The bottom firms into a soft, crust-like base.
• The middle becomes a creamy custard.
• The top crisps into a golden streusel crust.

This transformation is the heart of the “impossible” magic—and it’s utterly delicious.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm or chilled.
• Pair with vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
• Enjoy at brunch, tea time, or dessert with a cup of coffee or herbal tea.
