Apples-to-rhubarb mixture can be tweaked depending on how much you like rhubarb or how tall you want the crisp to be.

RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

This rhubarb crisp recipe is special for two reasons. First, it's a variation on our classic Apple Crisp recipe, a time-tested crisp that's both foolproof and beloved. Second, we omitted rhubarb's usual companions (we're looking at you, strawberries) and added some sugar for sweetness, so the signature tang of this stalky vegetable really shines through. Topped with a layer of buttery oatmeal streusel and baked until bubbly, this recipe delivers rhubarb crisp in its purest and most delicious form!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apples.
  • If you don't have any rhubarb, you can substitute another tart fruit, such as gooseberries or cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the fruit; it should still be slightly firm when you serve it.
  • Use a shallow baking dish so that the fruit and crumb topping can brown evenly.
  • Serve the brown betty warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
