Provided by Kelsie

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
4 cups peeled (cored and sliced apples*)
2 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb**
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almonds (coarsely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cut the butter into 1/4-inch cubes and refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • Combine the apples, rhubarb, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar.
  • Spread that mixture into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Combine the oats, almonds, salt, and remaining brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Remove butter from the fridge and sprinkle it over the top. Pulse 10 to 20 times, until combined but still pretty chunky.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.
  • Set the pan on a large baking sheet to catch any dripping juices. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the topping is browned and the juices are bubbling.
  • Cool at least 20 minutes, then serve.
  • Store uneaten crisp loosely covered in the fridge for 2 days. (Don't cover the crisp until it's fully cooled or it could sweat.)

APPLE RHUBARB CRISP



Apple Rhubarb Crisp image

Well, I love apple crisps and rhubarb crisp - but didn't like the strawberry. I took a few recipes I found and mixed and matched and got something that everyone loved. Hope you do as well. Apples-to-rhubarb mixture can be tweaked depending on how much you like rhubarb or how tall you want the crisp to be.

RHUBARB AND APPLE COBBLER



Rhubarb and Apple Cobbler image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and chilled
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
3 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
1/2 pound rhubarb (2 stalks), peeled and cut into 1-inch thick slices
2 apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch table salt
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into slivers
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Crust: Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Rub the fats between your fingertips and thumbs, or use a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. One tablespoon at a time, work in enough ice water just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
  • Shape into a smooth ball of dough, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
  • Cobbler: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To prepare the cobbler, place the rhubarb and apples in a large, heavy saucepan. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon sugar and water. Stir over high heat until the sugar has started to dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the fruit has exuded some of its liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl with the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, flour, lemon zest, and salt. Cool slightly; pour into a lightly buttered 1-quart baking dish, and dot with the slivers of butter.
  • When ready to use crust, sprinkle a little flour on a smooth work surface, and using a rolling pin or dowel, roll the pie dough about 1/8-inch thick and large enough to cover the baking dish.
  • Cover cobbler with pie dough. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until top is golden. Let cobbler cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
