Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Prepare the pie crust by placing it into a 9-inch pie dish. Flute or trim the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour for the filling. Toss together to coat evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the sour cream mixture over the rhubarb mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour the rhubarb filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
While the pie is baking, prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix together the 1 cup of flour and brown sugar. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to cut the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
After the pie has baked for 25 minutes at 350°F, remove it from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. The filling will set as it cools.
