RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

When you think of rhubarb you probably think of strawberry-rhubarb pie, a quintessential spring dessert, especially if it's made by someone who makes good pies. I usually manage around one pie crust annually, so I need alternatives. Thus, when the spring's first rhubarb shows up, I adjust the execution and produce a crisp. If rhubarb is young and fresh, you can trim it in seconds. If it has fibrous outer strings, peel them off as you would those of celery. Toss the rhubarb with orange or lemon juice and zest, and only a little sugar. (You can also substitute strawberries for some of the rhubarb if you want the classic combination.) Blend the ingredients for the crisp topping in a food processor, crumble the topping over the rhubarb mixture, and bake - it is nearly effortless and as good or better than a pie.

1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon orange or lemon juice

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • Crumble the topping over rhubarb and bake until golden and beginning to brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

BROWNED-BUTTER RHUBARB CRISP



Browned-Butter Rhubarb Crisp image

Making a crisp is one of the best and easiest ways to highlight seasonal fruit. Crisps come together quickly with no special equipment, and they are a great way to use the odds and ends of fruit in your refrigerator. This recipe highlights one of spring's finest flavors: rhubarb. It is often paired with berries, but here, rhubarb shines on its own, with tart, puckery flavor and gorgeous color. Browned butter and almonds add toasty, nutty notes to the topping, making this an almost-effortless, high-impact dessert. You may notice that 2 tablespoons of the butter aren't browned; they are added to the hot browned butter to cool it down a bit so that you can use it immediately. Feel free to swap an equal amount of rolled old-fashioned oats for the almonds in the topping. Serve this cozy dessert with whipped cream or ice cream, if you like.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/141 grams unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/55 grams sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) or ¼ teaspoon fine salt
2 pounds rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces (8 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/113 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch of kosher salt
Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup/113 grams of the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a skillet with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty, a few minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium heatproof bowl. Cut the remaining butter into 2 pieces and add it to the bowl with the hot butter. Stir occasionally until all the butter melts.
  • Add the flour, brown sugar, almonds and salt to the butter, and stir together until evenly combined and clumps form. You may need to use your fingers to do the last bit of mixing.
  • Prepare the rhubarb: In a 9-by-9-inch (or 9-inch round) baking dish, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla paste, orange zest and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and evenly mixed. Press the rhubarb gently into the pan, then scatter the crumble evenly over the top.
  • Bake until the topping is deep golden brown and the rhubarb juices are bubbling, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The topping will soften as it sits.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter filling, add more sugar to taste.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the rhubarb and walnuts by hand.
  • To make sure the bars are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Carrie's Rhubarb Butter Crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and crunchy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
