  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions :

  1. Mix filling ingredients and pour into a buttered baking dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients and cut in butter until crumbly.
  3. Sprinkle topping over filling.
  4. Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes.
  5. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

tips to make Pioneer Woman Rhubarb Crisp

  • If you use frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain well so the filling is not watery.
  • Keep the butter cold for a crumbly topping.
  • Do not overmix the topping; leave small lumps for the best texture.
  • Check the crisp at 30 minutes; oven times vary.
  • Add a little extra sugar to the filling if your rhubarb is very tart.

variation (if any)

  • Mix in 1 cup chopped strawberries for a strawberries-and-rhubarb version.
  • Swap oats for chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • Use coconut oil or a butter substitute for a dairy-free topping (texture will change).
  • Make it gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen rhubarb?
A: Yes. Thaw it first and drain any excess liquid before mixing with the other filling ingredients.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes. Prepare the crisp up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate for a day. Bake when you are ready.

Q: How do I know when it is done?
A: The topping should be golden and the filling should bubble at the edges. If bubbling stops, it likely needs a few more minutes.

Q: Can I reduce the sugar?
A: You can reduce sugar a bit, but rhubarb is tart. Taste the mixture before baking and adjust if needed.
