Ingredients for Rhubarb Crisp

  • 6 cups chopped rhubarb
  • Sugar
  • Flour
  • Cinnamon
  • Brown Sugar
  • Rolled Oats
  • Butter

How to Make Rhubarb Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat.
  3. Pour the rhubarb mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, and cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb filling.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
