Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces rhubarb (2 to 3 stalks), trimmed
1 loaf brioche or other soft bread (6 ounces), crusts removed
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for pan and topping
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced into quarter-inch-thick wedges
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut rhubarb into 1/4-inch-thick cubes, yielding about 3 cups. Tear brioche into 1/2-inch pieces, yielding 3 to 3 1/2 cups.
  • Butter a shallow 1-quart baking dish. In medium bowl, combine melted butter and brioche; cover bottom of dish with 1 to 1 1/2 cups brioche. In another bowl, combine rhubarb, apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Grate zest; add to mixture. Let sit until juices begin to run, about 5 minutes. Spread half of rhubarbmixture over brioche. Sprinkle with 1 cup brioche. Add remaining rhubarb mixture and juices; cover with remaining 1 cup brioche. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Spoon 6 tablespoons warm water over top.
  • Cover; bake 25 to 35 minutes on the middle rack, until rhubarb is tender. Increase heat to 400 degrees; uncover, and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until rhubarb is soft, top is crusty, and juices begin to bubble at edges of baking dish. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

This is a classic dessert that is always a crowd-pleaser. The apples and rhubarb are a perfect combination, and the oatmeal topping adds a nice crunch. I highly recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The apples and rhubarb were a bit mushy and the oatmeal topping was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of apples. Next time, I'll try using a tarter apple, or maybe even adding a bit of lemon juice to the filling.

I love the combination of apples and rhubarb in this recipe. The rhubarb adds a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the apples. The brown sugar and cinnamon topping is also a great addition.

This was my first time making brown betty, and it turned out wonderfully! I used a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and the tartness of the Granny Smith apples balanced out the sweetness of the Honeycrisp apples perfectly. The rhuba
