Rhubarb Apple Crisp

This recipe involves two baking steps. After step one is baked, you can let it cool down until you are ready to bake the second step. It looked so delicious, I was tempted to eat a bowl after the first step. I was in a hurry, so I only used one apple. You could use three or four. Do not skimp on the sugar.

Ingredients

Rhubarb, 4 thick stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Apple, 1 peeled, cored and cubed

Sugar, 1 C

Flour, 1/4 C

Cinnamon, 1 t ground

Cloves, a pinch of ground

Topping

Butter, 6 T melted

Brown sugar, 1/4 C packed

Whole wheat flour, 1/2 C

Rolled oats, 1/2 C

Walnuts, 1/2 C chopped

Cinnamon, 1 t

Nutmeg, 1/2 t

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix topping ingredients and set aside. Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish. Mix rhubarb, apple and sugar to coat fruit with sugar. Mix in flour and spices. Add to baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Spread topping evenly and bake another 30 minutes. Serve warm. I swirled my serving in a bowl to mix around the topping. We loved the walnuts. Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
