Rhubarb is one of these plants that when it is planted and taken care of, it will keep on coming back year after year and is usually the first thing that pops in the garden come springtime.
You want to use Rhubarb that is free of blemish’s, crisp and tender.
Are you trying to cut some calories?
Sugar can be adjusted up or down to reach your desired tartness.
The topping will get golden brown and the fruit will bubble which is a sign of doneness.
Do you have to refrigerate the Apple Rhubarb Crisp?
This recipe does not need to be refrigerated. If you have a desire to cover or refrigerate make sure to poke holes in the plastic wrap so the crisp does not get soggy.
Can I substitute frozen rhubarb or apples for fresh fruit?
Yes, just make sure fruit stays frozen until baked. If you thaw fruit it will just get all mushy.
Rhubarb freezes well and can be measured out to the desired amount for the recipe, place in a freezable container and label properly.
Crisp – FAQ
Bigger Rhubarb stalks will sometimes get stringy so treat them like you would a celery stalk. I prefer smaller stalks, so I don’t have to peel away the stringy skin.
Tip: Do not use rhubarb leaves because they contain poisonous substances which can be harmful to humans. You can compost rhubarb leaves because the oxalic acid is broken down and diluted during the decomposition process.
