Rhubarb Orange Crisp

June 3, 2019 by Grace Leave a Comment

This rhubarb crisp is the perfect balance in between too tart and sickly sweet. With light cinnamon hints and zesty orange, this rhubarb crisp is truly a showstopping dessert.

Rhubarb crisp is an essential for late spring and early summer. My rhubarb has just grown to the point where I can cut off just enough to make a pan of this! (Minnesota spring comes pretty late folks!)

The crisp crust is buttery, sweet, and delicious, balancing out the tart and tangy rhubarb orange filling. Thankfully this recipe is super easy to make!

The Rhubarb Orange Filling

When rhubarb is cooked it often releases a lot of liquid which can cause the crumble on top to become soggy. In this recipe, I use flour to thicken the rhubarb so that it doesn’t become runny. Another trick I use is sprinkling 1-2 tsp of cornstarch on top of the rhubarb filling before placing the crust on top. This creates a seal that helps the crust from getting soggy.

The orange juice in the filling balances out the rhubarb and makes the flavor become more whole. It is subtle, but you would miss it if it wasn’t there.

Requiring only one bowl, this filling has only 5 ingredients and is simple and easy.

The Crumble

The brown sugar cinnamon crumble is super easy and also uses only one bowl. (whoot, whoot. Less dishes!) While it isn’t particularily healthy because it has lots of melted butter and brown sugar, it does taste delicous and is a perfect pairing with the tangy rhubarb orange filling.

The one thing that helps this crumble come together perfectly is adding the ingredients in a specific order. If you stir the melted butter and the brown sugar together first before adding any of the other ingredients, the texture becomes out of this world. If you pour the melted butter in last, it makes the crumble have a much drier texture which leads to a texture that is not quite as good.
