In my opinion, rhubarb is vastly unrecognized, often forgotten about, and I’d almost go as far to say that it doesn’t quite get the attention that it deserves. I might be biased (probably); however, it is my belief that the distinct sour and tartness of rhubarb baked into desserts is phenomenal.
This past weekend, I found this recipe for Rhubarb-Apple Pie in the latest issue of Cooking Light. I realize that not everyone is as crazy as I am about rhubarb; therefore, I liked the fact that this recipe paired rhubarb with another fruit in order to compliment its flavor with something more sweet. I think that this genius move increased the likelihood that more people would try it. As a result, my aspiration is that I can hopefully convert more people to like rhubarb with this recipe now!
Step 1: Slice Rhubarb and Peel/Slice Apples
Step 2: Combine Apples and Rhubarb
With Sugars, Lemon, Cinnamon and Flour
Step 3: Combine Butter, Brown Sugar and
Flour for Topping (I added Oats!)
Step 4: Place Fruit in Dough and
Place Topping on Top
Step 5: Bake and Eat!
I normally like to make my own pie dough; however, I simplified the baking process by using a pre-made crust from the grocery store which saved a lot of time and effort; therefore, the rest of this recipe was very easy with the simple chopping and assembly of the ingredients into the crust. All in all, I’m very happy with the result of this pie. The rhubarb combined immensely well with the apple and provided a dessert that was more attractive to those who aren’t as much of a fan of strictly sour desserts. A must-try and one that will be repeated again!
Cheers!
I never eat rhubard before … wondering how it tastes like, will try it sometime. thanks for the fresh idea
No problem! And yes, I highly encourage you to try it in a dessert – it’s wonderful!
you don’t have to do much to try to convert me. i love rhubarb and i love crumble. this would be my comfort food.
Glad we’re both in the rhubarb fan club! Thanks for the comment!
So glad that winter is coming up and I can get my stockpile on comfort foods happening! I love rhubarb and it’s forever since I had any!
This looks delicious. Strawberry rhubarb pie is my favourite. In the summer we grow it next to our house and it gets quite large. I will have to wait until it starts growing again to make your recipe though
Thank you! I definitely lucked out at the grocery store and they happened to have some!
Not sure that’s a Weight Watchers kinda thing….
Looks incredible
You are right – probably not a Weight Watchers type of recipe! But, it is tasty nonetheless!
I really love the combination of rhubarb and apple, this is a recipe I will definitely make this summer. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! P.S. I love your recipes
hmmm.. actually i haven’t had rhubarb before but I’m pretty sure it would taste wonderful especially with apple and brown sugar!!
Really? You have to try it at least once
Every time I see rhubarb at the market, I think, “I really need to try that.” And I never do. Sigh. Maybe some day I’ll get around to it. Your pie looks scrumptious!
Thank you so much! And, yes, absolutely try some next time!
Rhubarb is my favorite! Thanks for the recipe, Ill for sure try this out
Rhubarb is slowly becoming a favorite as well
This. Looks. Delicious. I want a whole pie… A whole one, you hear!
Thank you!! If I could, I’d give you a pie right now!
