Apple Rhubarb Cooler Recipes

Steps:

• Crust: Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Rub the fats between your fingertips and thumbs, or use a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. One tablespoon at a time, work in enough ice water just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
• Shape into a smooth ball of dough, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• Cobbler: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To prepare the cobbler, place the rhubarb and apples in a large, heavy saucepan. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon sugar and water. Stir over high heat until the sugar has started to dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the fruit has exuded some of its liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl with the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, flour, lemon zest, and salt. Cool slightly; pour into a lightly buttered 1-quart baking dish, and dot with the slivers of butter.
• When ready to use crust, sprinkle a little flour on a smooth work surface, and using a rolling pin or dowel, roll the pie dough about 1/8-inch thick and large enough to cover the baking dish.
• Cover cobbler with pie dough. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until top is golden. Let cobbler cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the rhubarb, apples, egg, sugar, syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon. Pour into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over fruit mixture. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix apples, rhubarb, 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl until thoroughly combined; spread fruit mixture into bottom of prepared baking dish.
• Mix quick oats, 1 1/2 cup flour, and brown sugar in a separate bowl; cut butter into the oats mixture until crumbly. Spread the oats mixture evenly over the fruit mixture. If desired, combine 2 tablespoons white sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of the crisp.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fruit is bubbling and thick and the topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes; best served warm.

Steps:

• Filling: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Transfer to a 2 1/2-to-3-quart baking dish or 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• Biscuit: Whisk together both flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter; using your fingers, work it into dry ingredients until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add cream and almond extract; stir with a fork until a soft, sticky dough forms. Scatter in small clumps evenly over fruit in baking dish. Brush dough with cream. Sprinkle with almonds, then sanding sugar.
• Bake until cobbler is bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil after about 45 minutes). Let cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour before serving warm or at room temperature, topped with more cream.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the rhubarb, apples, vanilla and sugar together in an ovenproof dish and roast for 10 mins.
• Mix the flour and ginger, if using, together in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips to create a chunky breadcrumb textured mixture. Stir through the sugar. Sprinkle the crumble topping onto the fruit and cook for a further 30-35 mins or until the topping is lightly golden brown. Serve with ice cream or custard.
