Ingredients for Apple Rhubarb Crumble

  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb
  • Tart Apples
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • Maple Syrup
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter

How to Make Apple Rhubarb Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and chop 4 cups of apples (about 3 medium) and 2 cups of rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples and rhubarb with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly and tender. Let cool slightly before serving.

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.
