BEST Classic Rhubarb Pie Recipe (Perfect Crust)

My first experience with rhubarb was eating this pie, years ago. Ever since I developed a new love and try to sneak it into all sorts of baked goods. It is only available, in most stores, fresh during the summer months. So run! Get some fresh rhubarb, and make this pie.
