How to Make Apple Or Rhubarb Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the fruit filling:** Peel and slice 6 medium apples (or chop 4 cups rhubarb). In a large bowl, gently toss the fruit with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- **Prepare the crumble topping:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the fruit filling into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
