Rhubarb Crisp

When it’s rhubarb season I’m always excited to make Rhubarb Crisp. I guess some people call it Rhubarb Crumble, but where I’m from, it’s Rhubarb Crisp all the way.

It’s such an old-fashioned, classic recipe that we tend to forget how delicious it really is. The rhubarb “filling” at the bottom boils up into a sticky, custard consistency that is just the right amount of tart. The top is buttery and crunchy like a tender cookie.

When served warm with a scoop of ice cream, Rhubarb Crisp is a study in contrasts: hot and cold, crunchy and creamy, and tart and sweet. It’s one of the easiest and best desserts imaginable.

Rhubarb Crisp - fast & easy yet such a treat!Do you know what else tastes amazing with Rhubarb Crisp? Greek yogurt. Warm up some leftover Rhubarb Crisp, add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and you have an incredible, delicious breakfast.

**UPDATE 5/2019** I have found that Rhubarb Crisp doesn’t need as much sugar as originally stated. I have updated the recipe below to show ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons flour being stirred in with the rhubarb pieces.

ENJOY!

    I love rhubarb and I know Germans/Austrians really know how to use it when it’s in season. The crisp looks great! 🙂
