Directions
1.
Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
2.
From each pie crust, cut a small circle to fit as the bottom crust in each of four 5.5" pie plates. Cut long strips out of remaining pie dough about 1/2 an inch in width. Chill both while preparing filling.
3.
In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, sugar, flour, cardamom, nutmeg, orange zest and juice. Stir to distribute ingredients evenly.
4.
Fill each pie dish with filling, mounding each one full. Using chilled strips, criss-cross them over each pie making a lattice pattern. Trim excess dough from sides of pies and then crimp the edges together.
5.
Brush outsides of pies with beaten egg. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Let cool and serve.
