Rhubarb Apple Crunch

Rhubarb Apple Crunch -- A Pinch of Joy

I was delighted to find some late season rhubarb at the farmer’s market this past weekend.  I’ve been pining for Rhubarb Crunch.   It’s late enough in the season so I added some  apple to the dessert to celebrate fall.  This actually   was the first rhubarb of the year because I totally missed  rhubarb last spring.

In fact, we missed the farmer’s market.  We heard it was going to move but not where.  In May,  a facebook page celebrating the move came through my feed – but the farmer’s market was not on the highway  where it was supposed to be.   Then one Saturday morning I happened to drive through the mall parking lot.  And there was the farmer’s market on the OTHER side of the mall from where it was last year.    The fb page?  Turns out it was the same city name — but  in a different state!   (In my defense, they didn’t include the state in the address on fb.)    Note to me:  honey, you need to get out more often!   Especially since the reward is this good.

Slice the rhubarb across in about half inch lengths. If the stalks are wider than about half an inch, cut them lengthwise before slicing.  I used two small Gala apples for a texture and flavor contrast.  Don’t worry about peeling them, just wash well.  Slice and then dice in small pieces.  You can use an additional ¼ cup of sugar, if more sweetness is desired.  This recipe makes a firm dessert, which we like.  You can omit one tablespoon of cornstarch for a slightly more moist dessert.  The topping is really easy to make. Measure the dry ingredients together and give them a stir to evenly distribute them all.   Work the melted butter in with a fork or your fingers until coarse crumbs form, then sprinkle evenly over the rhubarb.  Optional:  Add a handful of chopped walnut pieces over the topping for even more crunch!  The topping will make a crisp, crunchy contrast to the fruit filling.
