Rhubarb Custard Pie

So all know I love pie, especially cherry and apple BUT this is definitely in my top 3 all time favorite pies!

Preheat Oven to 375 deg.

Make 1 recipe favorite pie crust for top and bottom 9" pan. Line bottom.

Beat 3 eggs, 2 tbs milk. Mix in 2 c. sugar (or splenda), 1/4 c. flour, 3/4 tsp nutmeg, and 3-4 c. diced rhubarb. Pour batter into crust bottom.

Top with lattice of remaining pie crust or a crumble crust* (1/2c room temp butter, 1/2c flour, 1/4c sugar, dash of nutmeg; mixed with a fork).

Bake at 375 deg for approximate 1 hour.
*If baking with crumb crust, place in a brown paper bag.
