How to Make Apple Or Rhubarb Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **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.
  3. **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.
  4. Pour the fruit filling into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
