RHUBARB CRISP

I found this strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe on a box of Quaker Oats about 20 years ago. It's quick and easier to make than pie. It's versatile, too, because you can add strawberries in spring or apples in fall. I usually pop it into the oven shortly before we sit down to eat so it's still warm for dessert! -C.E.

SHEILA'S BEST APPLE CRISP (NO OATS)



Sheila's Best Apple Crisp (No Oats) image

This is the apple crisp from my childhood (there is no oatmeal in the topping). If I could only pick one dessert to make the rest of my life, this would probably be it. Mom always made this in her beautiful copper au gratin pan. I bought the same pan when I got married, just so I could make this dessert. Originally from the 1966 version of the "Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery", Mom adapted it slightly over the years (with a little help from Cooks Illustrated I think). Cutting the apples into "cubes" (instead of slices) helps the apples keep the apples firm throughout. I have made this with pecans or walnuts. I have also made it without nuts. I like it best with pecans, but all versions are yummy!! I love it warm or cold. You can serve it with ice cream, but I usually only do that for dinner parties.

Yield 1 crisp, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs cooking apples
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (you can be generous unless you decide to substitute salted butter)

1/2 cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cube the remaining apples.
  • Put apples into an 8 1/2 x 12 inch au gratin casserole dish, or an equivalent baking dish (it's pretty forgiving).
  • Pour water over apples.
  • PREPARE TOPPING:.
  • In the food processor put the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and flour. Pulse until combined.
  • Remove butter from freezer and put into food processor.
  • Pulse to blend. Topping should be smaller than peas but not as fine as cornmeal.
