You just gave me an idea for an experiment.

I wonder if it’s possible to put a pie tin inside a cast iron Dutch oven and bake a nice looking pie with just coals for heat. I suppose it’s worth a shot. I just need to do research first.

Still, that’s an awesome looking pie. I’m might as well try making a rhubarb pie myself.

I don't see why using a Dutch oven wouldn't work. My only thought,,,, When placing pie tin into Dutch oven,,, avoid direct contact with bottom of pot. Direct contact may burn the crust more than desired. Placing stones on bottom may create a buffer to stop direct contact.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe an inverted pie tin?

I’ll figure it out.

Give it a test-drive with a common pie,, like apple, if you don't have rhubarb ready.
I know you like to experiment.

When I made the pie I used the extra crust to make an apple dumpling. I used a Cosmic Crisp apple. They were on sale for 68 cents a pound. It was really good.

We had 4 small honey crisp apple I used this time.
Added cinnamon and cloves to the dough.

Behind the garlic were two mozzarella stuffed, and two jalapeño, tomato cheddar stuffed. The big one is plain sourdough using whey instead of water.
