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.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith (1 pound total), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground almond flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing and serving
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
Sliced almonds and fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Filling: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Transfer to a 2 1/2-to-3-quart baking dish or 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Biscuit: Whisk together both flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter; using your fingers, work it into dry ingredients until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add cream and almond extract; stir with a fork until a soft, sticky dough forms. Scatter in small clumps evenly over fruit in baking dish. Brush dough with cream. Sprinkle with almonds, then sanding sugar.
  • Bake until cobbler is bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil after about 45 minutes). Let cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour before serving warm or at room temperature, topped with more cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of tart and sweet apples. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb should be cooked until it is soft but still holds its shape. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Don't skimp on the sugar: Sugar is necessary to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb and apples. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but don't omit it entirely.
  • Use a variety of spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add warmth and depth of flavor to apple rhubarb desserts. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Apple rhubarb desserts are a great opportunity to get creative. Try different variations on the classic recipe, such as adding other fruits, nuts, or even chocolate.

Conclusion:

Apple rhubarb desserts are a delicious and versatile way to enjoy these two classic fruits. Whether you're looking for a simple cobbler or a more elaborate pie, there's an apple rhubarb dessert recipe out there for everyone. With a little planning and effort, you can create a dessert that will wow your family and friends.
