Individual Rhubarb Crisps image

Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and crisp, as brightly hued as you can find, and blemish free. Rhubarb is often sold with leaves intact because this helps prolong freshness, but only the stalks of rhubarb are edible. This crisp can be prepared either in six 8-ounce ramekins for individual serving, or in a 2 1/2-quart shallow casserole.

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 tablespoons chilled (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for ramekins
1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 pounds (6 large stalks) rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (6 cups)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Juice of 1 orange
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter six 8-ounce ramekins (or a 2 1/2-quart shallow casserole), and set aside. Make crumb mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and oats. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in chilled butter until mixture comes together into clumps, about 4 to 5 minutes; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir to combine rhubarb, zest, orange juice, and vanilla seeds. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle over rhubarb until just coated. Pour 1 cup rhubarb mixture into each ramekin, and top with 1/2 cup crumb mixture. Bake until the rhubarb is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes (or about 40 minutes for the casserole). Transfer from oven to a cooling rack. Let cool slightly, and serve warm.

I've made this crisp several times and it's always a hit. It's the perfect dessert for a summer gathering.

This recipe is a fail. The topping was dry and crumbly, and the rhubarb was still raw.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crisp turned out soggy. The topping was soft and the rhubarb was mushy.

This crisp was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll add a little more sugar to the rhubarb filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crisp turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the topping.

This is the best rhubarb crisp I've ever had. The topping is so good, I could eat it on its own.

I made this crisp exactly as the recipe said and it turned out perfect. The rhubarb was tart and the topping was sweet and crunchy. I served it with vanilla ice cream and it was heavenly.

I've never been a big fan of rhubarb, but this crisp changed my mind. The combination of the tart rhubarb and the sweet, crunchy topping was irresistible. I'll definitely be making this again.
