Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a 9-inch pie dish with the unbaked pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Toss to coat and let sit for 5 minutes to release some juices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat sour cream, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the rhubarb filling, gently spreading it with a spatula to cover the fruit.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack before serving. For best results, refrigerate the pie for 1-2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
